A member asked:

I have read that many different organisms can cause pid, but gonorrhea and chlamydia are most common... so what are the other types of organisms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

E coli: Is the bug i've seen most commonly associated with pid or tubo-ovarian abscess. This bacterium is very abundant in the GI tract.
