International audienceDuring gestation, the cervical mucus plug (CMP) acts to seal the cervical canal. Pi-lot studies in humans have suggested that a porous CMP may increase the risk ofuterine infection and preterm birth. We examined the gel-forming content of themouse vagina and the CMP. We experimentally infected pregnant mice by intra-vaginal administration of pathogens related to preterm birth in humans. Wefound that the epithelium in both the vagina and cervical canal of pregnantmice produced the two gel-forming mucins Muc5b and Muc5ac. The CMP wasporous in Muc5b-deficient mice for which intravaginal administration of Escheri-chia coli O 55 led to the activation of an inflammatory response in the uterus and100% preterm births. The path...
