Infections in Pregnancy	2017-11-27		.txt	text/plain	10309	563	45	To protect the health of pregnant women and their offspring, additional research is needed to understand how these intrauterine infections adversely affect pregnancies and/or neonates in order to develop prevention strategies and treatments. The condition in which the membranes that surround the fetusdthe chorion and amnion, and the amniotic fluiddare infected by bacteria is commonly referred to as "chorioamnionitis." Chorioamnionitis complications are associated with significant and/or long-term adverse outcomes for the mother (postpartum infections and sepsis) and/or the infant (stillbirth, premature birth, neonatal sepsis, chronic lung disease, and brain injury) (Tita and Andrews, 2010) . Infection during pregnancy can cause spontaneous preterm labor, fetal loss, and illness or death in newborn infants (CDC, 2013c; Richardson et al., 2010) . Infection may lead to severe health conditions such as septicemia, pneumonia, or meningitis and in about 25% of cases, the occurrence of preterm delivery with birth weights lower than normal or stillbirth may occur (Mylonakis et al., 2002) .	./cache/cord-299255-wnf8fozk.txt	./txt/cord-299255-wnf8fozk.txt
