Superbug risk in preterm pregnancy: new study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT07200999
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how often pregnant women who have their water break early carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Researchers will collect samples from 250 women across French hospitals to track these bacteria and identify risk factors. The goal is to help doctors choose better antibiotics to prevent infections in mothers and babies.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study participants will be selected from pregnant women who experience premature rupture of membranes before term (between 23 weeks and 36 weeks + 6 days of gestation). These women will be receiving care at multiple maternity hospitals participating in this multicenter French study. The population includes adult women (over 18 years old) who have vaginal microbiological samples available for analysis. This group represents a high-risk pregnancy population due to the increased risk of infection associated with premature membrane rupture.
