    Author: Sparks RA, Purrier BG, Watt PJ, Elstein M.
    Journal: Br J Obstet Gynaecol; 1977 Sep; 84(9):701-4. PubMed ID: 911723.
    Abstract:
    Fifty hysterectomy specimens were studied by a multiple biopsy technique to determine the normal bacteriological flora of the uterine cavity and cervical canal. All the uterine cavities and 23 of the cervical canals were sterile. The lower half of the other 27 cervical canals contained organisms similar to those found in the vaginal vault.
