    Abstract:
    This study included 59 pregnant women and their mature infants born in term in order to establish the incidence of potential microorganisms that may transmit through the birth canal to infant and the evidence for vertical transmission in pregnancy. Using isolation studies based on selective methods, it was found that U.urealyticum had the highest incidence with 26 (44%) and Diphtheroid was isolated from 19 (32.2%), Staphylococcus from 17 (28.8%), M.hominis from 16 (27.1%), group B Streptococcus from 8 (13.6%) of genital canal specimens, respectively. It was also found that E.coli with a carriage rate of 6 (50%), M.hominis with 4 (25%) and Diphtheroid with 4 (21%) were transmitted through the birth canal to infant and colonized the conjunctiva and face of infant at birth.
