Figure 5. M hominis goiC is associated with preterm delivery and bacterial burden.

Figure 5

The y-axis (logarithmic scale) represents the microbial burden in amniotic fluid in colony forming units per mL amniotic fluid. The open square represents amniotic fluid from a case of spontaneous preterm labor and preterm birth in which the M. hominis goiC gene was absent. The open diamonds represent amniotic fluid from cases of spontaneous preterm labor and term birth in which goiC was absent. The black squares represent amniotic fluid from cases of spontaneous preterm labor and preterm birth in which goiC gene was present.
