Figure 2. — Correlation of microbial load in the placenta with microbial load in the amniotic fluid. Rats without nicotine exposure (MP only) attained levels of infection > log 4 CCU (dotted line) only when the placental load was ≥ log 10 CCU. Rats with nicotine exposure (Nic + MP) attained levels of infection > log 4 CCU (dotted line) when the placental load was ≥ log 6 CCU. Results are expressed as the log CCU recovered. Each data point represents an individual fetal unit. Mycoplasma pulmonis was never isolated from any control or Nic only rats.
