Problem The diagnosis of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) has been traditionally performed using traditional cultivation techniques, which require growth of microorganisms in the laboratory. Shortcomings of culture methods include the time required (days) for identification of microorganisms, and that many microbes involved in the genesis of human diseases are difficult to culture. A novel technique combines broad‐range real‐time polymerase chain reaction with electrospray ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI‐MS) to identify and quantify genomic material from bacteria and viruses. Method of study AF samples obtained by transabdominal amniocentesis from 142 women with preterm labor and intact membranes (PTL) were analyzed using cultivation techniques (aerobic, anaerobic, and genital mycoplasmas) as well as PCR/ESI‐MS. The prevalence and relative magnitude of intra‐amniotic inflammation AF interleukin 6 (IL‐6) concentration ≥ 2.6 ng/mL, acute histologic chorioamnionitis, spontaneous preterm delivery, and perinatal mortality were examined. Results (i) The prevalence of MIAC in patients with PTL was 7% using standard cultivation techniques and 12% using PCR/ESI‐MS; (ii) seven of ten patients with positive AF culture also had positive PCR/ESI‐MS ≥17 genome equivalents per PCR reaction well (GE/well); (iii) patients with positive PCR/ESI‐MS (≥17 GE/well) and negative AF cultures had significantly higher rates of intra‐amniotic inflammation and acute histologic chorioamnionitis, a shorter interval to delivery median (interquartile range‐IQR), and offspring at higher risk of perinatal mortality, than women with both tests negative 90% (9/10) versus 32% (39/122) OR: 5.6; 95% CI: 1.4–22; (P < 0.001); 70% (7/10) versus 35% (39/112); (P = 0.04); 1 (IQR: <1–2) days versus 25 (IQR: 5–51) days; (P = 0.002), respectively; (iv) there were no significant differences in these outcomes between patients with positive PCR/ESI‐MS (≥17 GE/well) who had negative AF cultures and those with positive AF cultures; and (v) PCR/ESI‐MS detected genomic material from viruses in two patients (1.4%). Conclusion (i) Rapid diagnosis of intra‐amniotic infection is possible using PCR/ESI‐MS; (ii) the combined use of biomarkers of inflammation and PCR/ESI‐MS allows for the identification of specific bacteria and viruses in women with preterm labor and intra‐amniotic infection; and (iii) this approach may allow for administration of timely and specific interventions to reduce morbidity attributed to infection‐induced preterm birth.
