=====Antibiotics===== While antibiotics can get rid of bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy, this does not appear to change the risk of preterm birth.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Brocklehurst P, Gordon A, Heatley E, Milan SJ | title = Antibiotics for treating bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 1 | issue = 1 | pages = CD000262 | date = January 2013 | pmid = 23440777 | pmc = 4164464 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD000262.pub4 }}</ref> It has been suggested that chronic chorioamnionitis is not sufficiently treated by antibiotics alone (and therefore they cannot ameliorate the need for preterm delivery in this condition).<ref name=Iams2008/>
