Abstract

In order to gain insight into the frequency of L. monocytogenes vaginal carriage among women of reproductive age in Belgrade, Serbia, we conducted the long-term investigation (January 1992 through August 2006) described herein. The study population of 958 women included 799 patients with spontaneous abortion and 159 patients with infertility. A low rate of L. monocytogenes vaginal carriage of 0.1% was established, since only one strain was recovered from vaginal swab of a woman with spontaneous abortion.
