We have thus analysed bacteria in swabs from the vagina and cervix of post\u2010puerperal cattle (n\u2003=\u2003644). Out of the animals, 6.8% had aborted within the last 12\u2003months, 2.6% and 11.6% showed signs of vaginitis and endometritis, respectively. In 17.2% of cervical swabs pathogenic gram\u2010positive and in 11.5% pathogenic gram\u2010negative bacteria were found.<jats:italic>Arcanobacterium pyogenes<\/jats:italic>was isolated from 41.3% of cows with endometritis and from 3.5% without endometritis (p\u2003&lt;\u20030.05). From 12.5% of cows with abortion but from no cow without abortion,<jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>was recovered (p\u2003&lt;\u20030.05). Out of 383 vaginal swabs, 88.3% were positive. In 3.4% of swabs pathogenic gram\u2010positive and in 16.7% pathogenic gram\u2010negative microorganisms were found. The percentage of positive vaginal swabs did not differ between pregnant and non\u2010pregnant animals. In the genital tract, the percentage of swabs positive for normal mucosal bacteria decreased from caudally to cranially (p\u2003&lt;\u20030.05). Pathogenic bacteria were found more often in cervical than in vaginal swabs (p\u2003&lt;\u20030.05). In conclusion, bacteria on the vaginal and cervical mucosa in cattle involve a wide range of species. In animals without endometritis or vaginitis, colonization of the mucosa rather than infection has to be assumed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0531.2007.01002.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,5]],"date-time":"2008-06-05T03:15:18Z","timestamp":1212635718000},"page":"88-91","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Prevalence of Potentially Pathogenic Bacteria as Genital Pathogens in Dairy Cattle"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"T","family":"Petit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Spergser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Rosengarten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Aurich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"124","article-title":"Vorkommen von Deckinfektionen und klinisch relevanten, bedingt genitalpathogenen Bakterien bei \u00f6sterreichischen Norikerhengsten","volume":"90","author":"Aurich C","year":"2003","journal-title":"Wien Tier\u00e4rztl Mschr"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0167-5877(93)90114-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0093-691X(95)00123-P"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0007-1935(05)80038-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0093-691X(89)90481-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0093-691X(74)90052-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","first-page":"29","volume-title":"Fertilit\u00e4tsst\u00f6rungen beim weiblichen Rind","author":"Grunert E","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","first-page":"273","article-title":"Abortion rate during the second half of gestation of cows undergoing surgery in lateral recumbency as compared with cows of a control population","volume":"141","author":"Hirsbrunner G","year":"1999","journal-title":"Schweiz Arch Tierheilk"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0093-691X(90)90522-U"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0531.1999.tb01246.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3168\/jds.S0022-0302(02)74302-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","first-page":"543","article-title":"A field investigation of causes of abortion in cattle","volume":"127","author":"Murray RD","year":"1990","journal-title":"Vet Rec"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","first-page":"995","article-title":"Postpartum uterine health in cattle","volume":"83","author":"Sheldon IM","year":"2004","journal-title":"Anim Reprod Sci 82"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.142.21.575"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0378-1135(02)00043-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1439-0442.1999.00205.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1305","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1990.197.10.1305","article-title":"Considerations for use of descriptive epidemiology to investigate fetal loss in dairy cows","volume":"197","author":"Thurmond MC","year":"1990","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"}],"container-title":["Reproduction in Domestic Animals"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1439-0531.2007.01002.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1439-0531.2007.01002.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,27]],"date-time":"2024-02-27T02:53:17Z","timestamp":1709002397000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1439-0531.2007.01002.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,14]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1439-0531.2007.01002.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1439-0531.2007.01002.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0936-6768","1439-0531"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0936-6768","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-0531","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,14]]}}}
