SUMMARY. Amniotic fluid from 6 subjects failed to inhibit the growth in culture of lactobacilli, coagulase‐negative staphylococci or diphtheroids. Some other explanation must be sought for the scarcity of these organisms in the birth canal after the rupture of the membranes and on the skin of the newborn.
