Post-op gynecologic infection due to Prevotella

A post-op gynecologic infection due to *Prevotella* is a surgical site or pelvic infection occurring after an operative gynecologic or obstetric procedure, resulting from opportunistic tissue invasion by anaerobic, Gram-negative bacilli of the *Prevotella* genus
