ObjectivesThis study determined the quantity of periodontopathic bacteria in saliva, subgingival plaque, and placenta on the threatened preterm labor (TPL) and preterm low birth weight (PLBW) subjects in order to identify specific periodontal pathogens with high association to adverse pregnancy outcomes.MethodsWe used real-time PCR with TaqMan probe and ELISA to detect the amount ofAggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans,Porphyromonas gingivalis,Tannerella forsythia,Treponema denticola,Fusobacterium nucleatum, andPrevotella intermediain subgingival plaque, saliva, and placenta tissue, in addition to serum IgG titers against these bacteria in 28 patients with TPL and 36 healthy pregnant women.ResultsThirteen of 64 births delivered PLBW infants. All 6 periodontopathic bacteria were detected in the placenta samples. The amount ofF. nucleatumand detection frequency ofT. denticolain placental samples was significantly higher in the TPL group than in the healthy group. Meanwhile, the age, anti-P. gingivalIgG in serum, amount ofP. gingivalisandT. forsythiain plaque samples, detection frequency ofP. intermediain saliva, and percentage of pocket probing depth ≥ 5 mm were higher in TPL-PLBW births than those in TPL-Healthy delivery (HD) group and/or in H-HD group. Ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence ofF. nucleatumin placental tissues was significantly associated with TPL, while the maternal age was significantly associated with PLBW in TPL.ConclusionOur findings suggested all 6 bacteria may access the placenta. The increased presence ofF. nucleatumin placenta might be related to TPL, while advanced maternal age might be associated with PLBW in TPL.Clinical relevancePeriodontal therapy should be applied to reduce the deep periodontal pocket sites and the colonization of periodontal pathogens in high-risk population.
