In the Placental tissue which part/portion of the placental from both the maternal and fetal sides will be ideal to look for the microbial load in the tissue.
The basal plate, which interfaces with the maternal decidua, is a key area for assessing microbial transfer from the mother. Sampling this area can provide insights into maternal microbiota and any potential infections or microbial presence.
The chorionic plate, including the amnion and the chorionic villi, is directly associated with the fetus. Sampling this area helps identify microbial presence that could impact fetal development or indicate vertical transmission.
Sampling from the intervillous space, where maternal and fetal components interact, can provide a balanced understanding of microbial exchange between the mother and fetus.
