Samples from the gingival margins of 14 cats considered normal on clinical examination were cultured for facultative and obligate anaerobic bacteria. All mouths were free from any gingival marginal inflammation and tartar build-up; all cats were between 6 and 12 months of age. A mixed growth was obtained from all samples. The mean number of bacterial species per sample was 10.7 with a range of 7-16 isolates. Of the 150 isolates processed, 109 (72.66%) were obligate anaerobes. Of the facultatively anaerobic species, Actinomyces (including A. viscosus, A. hordeovulneris and A. denticolens) comprised 12%, Pasteurella multocida 9.33% of isolates and Propionibacterium species 6% of all isolates. Gram-negative bacilli belonging to the genera Bacteroides and Fusobacterium were isolated from 12 of the 14 samples, and comprised 77% of the obligate anaerobes isolated. Clostridium villosum comprised 10.1% of obligately anaerobic isolates, Wolinella species made up 6.42%, while 4.58% were Peptostreptococcus anaerobius. The most commonly isolated obligately anaerobic species was C. villosum and the most commonly isolated facultatively anaerobic species was P. multocida. These findings show a bacterial flora of the normal feline mouth which is very similar in composition to that of cat fight abscesses and feline pyothorax.
从14只经临床检查被认为正常的猫的牙龈边缘采集样本，培养兼性厌氧菌和专性厌氧菌。所有口腔均无任何牙龈边缘炎症和牙垢堆积；所有猫的年龄在6至12个月之间。所有样本均获得混合生长。每个样本的细菌种类平均数为10.7，分离菌株范围为7至16种。在处理的150株分离菌中，109株（72.66%）为专性厌氧菌。在兼性厌氧菌种中，放线菌（包括粘性放线菌、麦芽放线菌和龋齿放线菌）占分离菌的12%，多杀巴斯德菌占9.33%，丙酸杆菌属占所有分离菌的6%。在14个样本中的12个样本中分离出属于拟杆菌属和梭杆菌属的革兰氏阴性杆菌，它们占分离出的专性厌氧菌的77%。绒毛梭菌占专性厌氧分离菌的10.1%，沃氏菌属占6.42%，而厌氧消化链球菌占4.58%。最常分离出的专性厌氧菌种是绒毛梭菌，最常分离出的兼性厌氧菌种是多杀巴斯德菌。这些发现表明正常猫口腔的细菌菌群在组成上与猫打架脓肿和猫脓胸的细菌菌群非常相似。
