Little is known about the presence of mycoplasmas in the genital tracts of domestic and stray bitches or in the vaginas of ovariohysterectomized (OHE) bitches. Moreover, to our knowledge, there has been no research to investigate the presence of canine vaginal mycoplasmas during the different stages of the reproductive cycle. We investigated the occurrence of mycoplasmas in the vaginas of healthy domestic and stray intact bitches, to correlate their presence with specific stages of the reproductive cycle, and to compare them with those in OHE bitches. We also investigated the presence of uterine mycoplasmas. Mycoplasmas were isolated from 41 of 122 vaginal swabs (34%) from domestic (27%) and stray (39%) bitches. Mycoplasma canis was the most commonly identified species ( n = 26; 63%), and was detected in both intact (60%) and OHE (73%) bitches. Mycoplasma isolates from the vaginas of healthy bitches did not vary during the various stages of the estrous cycle. Mycoplasmas were not detected in uterine samples.
关于家养和流浪母犬生殖道中支原体的存在情况,以及卵巢子宫切除(OHE)母犬阴道中支原体的存在情况,我们所知甚少。此外,据我们所知,尚未有研究调查生殖周期不同阶段犬阴道支原体的存在情况。我们调查了健康家养和流浪未绝育母犬阴道中支原体的发生情况,将它们的存在与生殖周期的特定阶段相关联,并与OHE母犬进行比较。我们还调查了子宫支原体的存在情况。从122份家养(27%)和流浪(39%)母犬的阴道拭子中,有41份(34%)分离出了支原体。犬支原体是最常鉴定出的种类(n = 26;63%),在未绝育(60%)和OHE(73%)母犬中均有检测到。健康母犬阴道分离出的支原体在发情周期的各个阶段并无差异。子宫样本中未检测到支原体。
