A survey was carried out to characterise the bacterial and mycoplasma flora of a closed colony of marmosets, Callithrix jacchus. Bordetella bronchiseptica and Staphylococcus aureus were the only potential bacterial pathogens isolated from the colony; Candida albicans was also identified. S aureus and C albicans were the only organisms which were associated with macroscopic lesions or overt disease. Post mortem examination of the animals proved only reliable method of establishing the presence of some bacterial species in the colony, eg, B bronchiseptica and of obtaining a reliable estimate of the incidence of the various organisms within the colony. The marmosets were all infected with ureaplasmas in the upper respiratory tract. Mycoplasma salivarium was isolated from this site in several animals. There was no evidence to indicate that cross-infection had occurred between the animal technicians and the marmosets, except in one possible case of candidiasis.
开展了一项调查，以鉴定狨猴封闭群体（狨猴，即普通狨）中的细菌和支原体菌群。支气管败血波氏杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌是从该群体中分离出的仅有的潜在细菌病原体；白色念珠菌也被鉴定出来。金黄色葡萄球菌和白色念珠菌是仅有的与肉眼可见病变或明显疾病相关的微生物。对动物进行尸检证明，这是确定群体中某些细菌种类（如支气管败血波氏杆菌）存在以及可靠估计群体内各种微生物发生率的唯一可靠方法。所有狨猴的上呼吸道均感染了脲原体。在几只动物的该部位分离出了唾液支原体。没有证据表明动物技术人员和狨猴之间发生了交叉感染，只有一例可能的念珠菌病病例除外。
