Tendency of abortion in ladies is caused by
A. Cyanobacteria
B. Bacteria
C. Mycoplasma
D. None of the above
Solution
Abortion can be defined as the ending of a pregnancy that occurred by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or foetus. When an abortion that takes place without intervention is known as a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion.
Complete answer:
Abortion is the expulsion of an embryo or foetus from the uterus before its reaching at the stage of viability. An abortion may take place spontaneously, in those cases, it is also known as a miscarriage. The abortion may be brought on purposefully, in which case it is often called an induced abortion. Sometimes a foetus dies in the uterus and fails to be expelled, this condition is known as a missed abortion. Sometimes it is due to the attack of the bacteria.
Tendency of abortion in ladies is caused by Mycoplasma which is a genus of a bacterium. Mycoplasma is a unicellular prokaryote that does not hold a cell wall around their cell membranes. Due to this characteristic, Mycoplasma makes them naturally resistant to antibiotics that target the synthesis of the cell wall. These bacteria can be in the form either parasitic or saprotrophic. Mycoplasma is also known as a PPL organism. Mycoplasma species are the smallest bacterial cells among the species discovered yet. This bacteria can survive without oxygen. They have the ability to be present in various shapes and change their shape. Therefore, it is known as pleomorphic. It contains both DNA and RNA.
There are various species belonging to the genus of Mycoplasma which is pathogenic in humans. It causes inflammation of the genitals. It is also responsible for the causing of walking pneumonia and other respiratory disorders. This genus is also involved in pelvic inflammatory diseases.
There is a species in the genus of Mycoplasma , which is Mycoplasma salivarium which restrains the supply of food as well as blood to the new embryo and this leads the embryo to death.
Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
Note: Abortion is the condition of ending a pregnancy which is occurred due to the removal or expulsion of an embryo or foetus. It is caused due to various diseases, trauma, genetic defects, or biochemical incompatibility of mother and foetus. Sometimes, embryos die in the uterus due to the lack of food and blood. The species of Mycoplasma is found to be responsible for this condition.
