Abstract
<i>Leptotrichia amnionii</i>and the Female Reproductive Tract
Highlights
The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the detected bacterium was deposited under accession no
Leptotrichia is a small genus closely related to Fusobacterium and comprises slow-growing, gram-negative, filamentous, anaerobic bacterial flora of the oral cavity and genital tract [5]
As evidenced by sequences available in the GenBank database, most of the 16S rRNA gene sequences are from cloned DNA from complex flora but not from bacterial isolates
