In pregnancy‚ the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role for the equilibrium of salt and water in mother and child.

An increase in angiotensinogen production in the liver is observed in pregnant women. By contrast‚ the angiotensin-converting enzyme is reduced. These changes result in an

The flagellum of P. mirabilis is crucial to its motility‚ a characteristic that helps this organism colonize.
