Association Between Periodontopathogenic Bacteria and Preterm Birth Among Postpartum Women with Periodontitis: A Cross-Sectional Molecular Study from the Democratic Republic of the Congo

2026-08-26

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Background Periodontitis has been increasingly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth, through mechanisms involving periodontal dysbiosis and systemic inflammation. However, evidence regarding the contribution of specific periodontopathogenic bacteria remains limited, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among...
