Abstract

The present study was conducted  to determine Eggerthella spp by culture independent method  from both bacterial  vaginosis(BV) women without and without miscarriage . Another aim was to sequence the  16SrRNA gene for phylogenetic study of the  local isolates of  Eggerthella spp in comparison to  world  Eggerthella spp isolates in  NCBI Gen bank and lastly deposition of the current  isolates in Gen bank. Hundred and  fifty (150) high vaginal swabs from BV women with and without miscarriage  were collected from the Hospital for Maternity and children and private clinics of  Babylon city , where Seventy five samples(75)  were taken from married BV women without miscarriage and Seventy five samples (75)  from BV women with miscarriage  . The  patient’s age (15– 45) years. The samples was taken by disposable swabs, 16SrRNA gene detection by polymerase chain reaction technique. Results revealed that from a total 150 swabs31(41.33%) and 18(24.00%) of Eggerthella spp obtained by PCR  from BV women with and without -miscarriage respectively. Phylogenetic study of 16SrRNA gene has shown  that local isolates Eggerthella spp (NO.1 and NO.2 ) have shared a higher homology with other isolates  of Eggerthella spp available in the GenBank. Sequence similarity was  (98.51% and 98.31% ) for isolates (No.1 and No.2) respectively.
