Conjunctival swabs were taken from both eyes of 70 healthy domestic rabbits and cultured to determine the microbial population. Bacteria were recovered from 83 per cent of the specimens. DNase-negative Staphylococcus species (57 per cent) were the most commonly recovered organisms followed by Micrococcus species (25 per cent) and Bacillus species (19 per cent). Other organisms isolated included Stomatococcus species (8 per cent), Neisseria species (8 per cent), Pasteurella species (6 per cent), Corynebacterium species (6 per cent), Streptococcus species (6 per cent) and Moraxella species (4 per cent), and other bacteria were isolated less frequently. Statistical analysis showed that there appeared to be no significant difference between the bacterial isolation rates from different breeds of rabbit. Significantly more of the swabs taken from young rabbits yielded cultivable bacteria than did those taken from rabbits over 12 months of age.
从70只健康家兔的双眼采集结膜拭子并进行培养，以确定微生物群落。83%的标本中培养出细菌。DNase阴性葡萄球菌属（57%）是最常培养出的微生物，其次是微球菌属（25%）和芽孢杆菌属（19%）。分离出的其他微生物包括口腔球菌属（8%）、奈瑟菌属（8%）、巴斯德菌属（6%）、棒状杆菌属（6%）、链球菌属（6%）和莫拉菌属（4%），其他细菌的分离频率较低。统计分析表明，不同品种家兔的细菌分离率似乎没有显著差异。从幼兔采集的拭子中培养出可培养细菌的比例明显高于从12个月以上家兔采集的拭子。
