[Induction of uterine contractions by Shigella].
The uterus-contracting properties of Shigellae in a clinically relevant dose of 10(5) organisms per ml was investigated in 17 uterine strips which where dissected during caesarean section from the lower uterine segment. A highly significant (p < 0.001) increase in uterine activity was observed.
