About

This study looks at how common certain antibiotic-resistant bacteria (called extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, or E-BLSE) are in pregnant women who experience premature breaking of their water before full term. The goal is to understand how often these bacteria are found, how long they stay, and what factors increase the risk of carrying them. This information will help doctors choose the best antibiotics to protect both the mother and baby from infections during and after pregnancy. The study follows women from the time of their membrane rupture until delivery, collecting samples to track the bacteria over time.
