- By infection localization: vagina, uterus, ovaries, parametric tissue, pelvis minor veins, mammary

gland.
- By infection type: aerobic (enterococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, group B streptococci, staphylococci); anaerobic (Bacteroids, fusobacteria, peptococci, peptostreptococcus); gram-positive, gram- negative, mycoplasma, Chlamydia, fungi.
