Ureaplasma Infection Mediated Release of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and PGP – a Novel Mechanism of Preterm Rupture of Membranes and Chorioamnionitis

BACKGROUND: Premature rupture of membranes and preterm delivery are associated with Ureaplasma infection. We hypothesized that Ureaplasma induced extracellular collagen fragmentation results in production of the tripeptide PGP (proline-glycine-proline), a neutrophil chemoattractant. PGP release from...
