- Diphtheroids
- E.coli
- Enterobacter agglomerans, E cloacae, E aerogenes
- Fusobacterium necrophorum
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Lactobacillus crispatus, L casei, L jansei
- Mycoplasma genitalia, M hominis
- Nondescript streptococci
- Prevotella bivia, P melaninogenicus
- Staphylococcus epidermidis
- Ureaplasma urealyticum
Common cause of chronic endometritis (CE) is an infection with microorganisms, including:[2][3][4]
