Abstract
Two cases of Listeria monocytogenes chorioamnionitis are presented in which transabdominal amniocentesis was used to confirm the diagnosis and to obtain reliable intrauterine culture material free from lower genital tract contamination. The mechanisms of infection with Listeria monocytogenes in the pregnant patient are discussed.Keywords
