Results of the bacteriological examination of milk samples from 46 bitches were evaluated retrospectively, and correlated with findings of the bacteriological examination of organs from dead, septicaemic puppies in their litters (n = 33). The aim of this study was to investigate, in how many cases of clinical and subclinical mastitis of the bitches, the same bacteria can be detected in their septicaemic neonates. One group of lactating bitches was clinically healthy (group I, n = 38), whereas in eight bitches different puerperal disorders were found (group II). Twenty-five septicaemic puppies were from group I, eight from group II. Out of a broad spectrum of bacteria isolated from the milk of clinically healthy and diseased bitches, only Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and/or ss-haemolytic (haem.) Streptococcus sp. could be isolated from organs of their septicaemic puppies. This was the case in three bitches with mastitis and in one clinically healthy bitch only. Staphylococcus intermedius, although frequently isolated from canine milk, does not seem to be a cause of septicaemia in neonates. It is assumed that in most cases of neonate septicaemia, bacteria from the bitches' milk are not the primary cause.
对46只母犬的乳汁样本进行了回顾性细菌学检查，并将结果与同窝死亡的败血性幼犬（n = 33）器官的细菌学检查结果相关联。本研究的目的是调查在母犬临床和亚临床乳腺炎的多少病例中，能在其败血性新生儿中检测到相同的细菌。一组哺乳母犬临床健康（I组，n = 38），而在8只母犬中发现了不同的产后疾病（II组）。25只败血性幼犬来自I组，8只来自II组。从临床健康和患病母犬的乳汁中分离出的多种细菌中，只有大肠杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌和/或β - 溶血性链球菌能从其败血性幼犬的器官中分离出来。这种情况仅在3只患有乳腺炎的母犬和1只临床健康的母犬中出现。中间葡萄球菌虽然经常从犬乳中分离出来，但似乎不是新生儿败血症的病因。据推测，在大多数新生儿败血症病例中，母犬乳汁中的细菌不是主要病因。
