Postpartum endomyometritis due to Bacteroides

Postpartum endomyometritis due to *Bacteroides* is an acute, ascending bacterial infection involving the endometrium and underlying myometrium following childbirth, specifically driven or complicated by anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Bacteroides* Typically arising as part of a polymicrobial infection from the lower genital tract after vaginal or cesarean delivery, the pathogen colonizes devitalized decidua, surgical incisions, or placental implantation sites It predominantly affec...

Postpartum endomyometritis due to *Bacteroides* is an acute, ascending bacterial infection involving the endometrium and underlying myometrium following childbirth, specifically driven or complicated by anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Bacteroides*

Typically arising as part of a polymicrobial infection from the lower genital tract after vaginal or cesarean delivery, the pathogen colonizes devitalized decidua, surgical incisions, or placental implantation sites The pathogenic involvement of *Bacteroides* species, including penicillin-resistant strains such as *Bacteroides fragilis*, frequently contributes to severe tissue necrosis, delayed clinical resolution, and increased risks of pelvic abscess or septic pelvic thrombophlebitis

Typically arising as part of a polymicrobial infection from the lower genital tract after vaginal or cesarean delivery, the pathogen colonizes devitalized decidua, surgical incisions, or placental implantation sites

It predominantly affects postpartum women and is characterized clinically by fever, uterine tenderness, lower abdominal pain, maternal tachycardia, and foul-smelling or purulent lochia
