Figure 1. Distribution of subjects (n=204) according to results of PCR and culture of amniotic fluid.

Figure 1

Data are from amniocentesis at presentation of 204 subjects for whom results from all culture assays were available. Culture refers to the aggregate results from routine cultivation methods for bacteria (aerobes, anaerobes and genital mycoplasmas) and for fungi. PCR refers to the aggregate results from end-point or real-time PCR targeting domain Bacteria, domain Archaea, genus Candida, and five specific bacterial groups (see Methods). Circle areas are not to scale.
