Molecular testing was used to detect\n Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium,<\/jats:italic>\n and\n Trichomonas vaginalis<\/jats:italic>\n .\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n Samples of vaginal secretions were collected from pregnant women using the Aptima\n \u00ae<\/jats:sup>\n Multitest Swab Specimen Collection kit to test for the pathogens. The inclusion criteria consisted of pregnant women of 15\u201345 years of age receiving prenatal care at the institute, irrespective of gestational age, who agreed to provide vaginal swab. The exclusion criterion was the use of antibiotics in the preceding 3 months.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis:<\/jats:title>\n Frequencies and percentages were calculated for the pathogens detected in the samples evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Overall, 200 samples were tested. Of the pathogens detected, there was a predominance of\n T. vaginalis<\/jats:italic>\n (15.5% of the samples) and\n C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic>\n (14.5%), followed by\n M. genitalium<\/jats:italic>\n (10.0%) and\n N. gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic>\n (0.5%).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Identifying the microorganisms present in the microbiota of pregnant women is of the utmost importance in assuring the appropriate treatment for each pathogen, thus avoiding complications both for the woman and for her fetus. These results should serve to stimulate the debate on implementing these tests as routine during prenatal care.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijstd.ijstd_119_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,5]],"date-time":"2023-12-05T03:50:57Z","timestamp":1701748257000},"page":"139-142","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Sexually transmitted infections with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Trichomonas vaginalis in pregnant women as detected by molecular testing"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Ant\u00f4nio Chamb\u00f4","family":"Filho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cinthia Rafaela Santos","family":"Assis Marcos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00e9ssica Maria","family":"Colnago","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ang\u00e9lica Espinosa Barbosa","family":"Miranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00falia Nascimento","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luiza Spinass\u00e9","family":"Peruchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-7-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"767","DOI":"10.1590\/S0365-05962010000600002","article-title":"Sexually transmitted diseases during pregnancy: A synthesis of particularities","volume":"85","author":"Costa","year":"2010","journal-title":"An Bras Dermatol"},{"key":"R2-7-20240831","first-page":"98","article-title":"Sexually transmitted infections in pregnant women: An integrative review","volume":"33","author":"Silva","year":"2020","journal-title":"Braz J Surg Clin Res"},{"key":"R3-7-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4891","DOI":"10.7150\/jca.58582","article-title":"Chlamydia trachomatis infection: Their potential implication in the etiology of cervical cancer","volume":"12","author":"Yang","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Cancer"},{"key":"R4-7-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"553","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-020-05664-6","article-title":"Effect of Chlamydia trachomatis on adverse pregnancy outcomes: A meta-analysis","volume":"302","author":"He","year":"2020","journal-title":"Arch Gynecol Obstet"},{"key":"R6-7-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"229","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-019-03707-8","article-title":"Mycoplasma genitalium, a stealth female reproductive tract","volume":"39","author":"De Carvalho","year":"2020","journal-title":"Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis"},{"key":"R12-7-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0141367","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0141367","article-title":"Maternal Chlamydia trachomatis infections and preterm births in a university hospital in Vitoria, Brazil","volume":"10","author":"Schmidt","year":"2015","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"R13-7-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"957","DOI":"10.1097\/OLQ.0b013e31822037fc","article-title":"Chlamydia trachomatis prevalence and risk behaviors in parturient women aged 15 to 24 in Brazil","volume":"38","author":"Pinto","year":"2011","journal-title":"Sex Transm Dis"},{"key":"R14-7-20240831","first-page":"614","article-title":"Prevalence of chlamydia and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections in pregnant women in six Brazilian cities","volume":"30","author":"Jalil","year":"2008","journal-title":"Rev Bras Ginecol Obstet"},{"key":"R17-7-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e2911124704","DOI":"10.33448\/rsd-v11i1.24704","article-title":"Aspects of vaginal microbiota and the relationship with candidiasis in pregnant women: A literature review","volume":"11","author":"Espinheiro","year":"2022","journal-title":"Res Soc Dev"}],"container-title":["Indian Journal of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and AIDS"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijstd.ijstd_119_22","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T16:52:41Z","timestamp":1787763161000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijstd.ijstd_119_22"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,7]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ijstd.ijstd_119_22","relation":{},"ISSN":["2589-0557"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2589-0557","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,7]]}}}
