Abstract
Microbiological study of the endometrium of 114 infertile women cultured 48 organisms (42.2%) from 42 patients (36.8%). Mycobacterium tuberculosis (16.7%) and Group B Streptococcus (8.8%) were the commonest organisms isolated. These organisms were also most commonly isolated from patients between the ages of 20 and 30 years. There is, however, an overall increase in the frequency of bacterial isolation with age-cohorts. Of the colonised patients, 36.8% were of parity less than two and most (26.3%) were nulliparous. It is possible that multiple marriages and polygamy played a significant role in the bacterial colonisation of the endometrium in the Hausa-Fulani population of Zaria, Nigeria.
