J Med Microbiol. 2005 Dec;54(Pt 12):1249-1250. doi: 10.1099/jmm.0.05457-0.

Abstract

Infrequently, post-Caesarean endometritis can progress to severe conditions. A case of post-Caesarean endometritis caused by Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum is reported in a young patient. In therapy-resistant endometritis unusual causative organisms should be considered and special microbiological investigations are recommended.
