title: [Cervical and abdominal microbiology in infertile patients].
abstract: The microbiology of twenty-nine asymptomatic infertile women was evaluated prospectively. Samples were taken from the cervix and the endosalpinx during laparoscopy. Cultures for aerobes, anaerobes, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia trachomatis were performed. No association was found between the presence of germs in the abdomen or cervix and tubal abnormalities. History of previous IUD use was associated with tubal disease.
