The investigation of 222 patients with caesarean section showed an increasing bacterial invasion of the amniotic fluid, when in the patients preoperative was found: - clear or green colored (meconic) amniotic fluid and intact membranes, - clear amniotic fluid with ruptured membranes and - green-colored (meconic) amniotic fluid and ruptured membranes. In support to some conceptions from the literature a perioperative prophylaxis with antibiotics is recommended in the groups, which are potentially endangered postoperatively.
