What infection causes chorioamnionitis?

"Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the membranes (placental tissues) and amniotic fluid. It occurs in about 1 to 2 percent of all pregnancies, but is much more common in preterm births. Chorioamnionitis can cause bacteremia (blood infection) in the mother and may lead to preterm birth and serious infection in the newborn baby. Other terms for chorioamnionitis include intra-amniotic infection and amnionitis. The organisms usually responsible for chorioamnionitis are those that are normally present in the vagina, including Escherichia coli (E. coli). Group B streptococcus may also cause the infection. Chorioamnionitis can develop when the membranes (amniotic sac) are ruptured (broken) for an extended period. This allows the vaginal organisms to move upward into the uterus."

Chance of infection with delayed delivery of baby after water breaks?

After the water breaks, the risk of infection increases, particularly if delivery is delayed for more than 24 hours. The protective barrier provided by the amniotic sac is lost, allowing bacteria to potentially ascend from the vagina into the uterus. This can lead to conditions such as chorioamnionitis, which poses risks for both the mother and the baby. Prompt medical evaluation and intervention are important to minimize these risks.
