The bacterial flora of the preputial space of 210 healthy males (43 children aged between 2 and 11 years, 137 males between 12 and 60 years and 30 men over 60 years) was determined by smears and cultueres from glans penis, sulcus coronarius and the adjacent prepuce. The results were grouped according to various criteria, e.g. glans covered or uncovered and age of males. Differences in the distribution of germs could be found in relationship to age. In the case of an uncovered glans penis the presence of microbial flora corresponds to the grampositive saprophytic bacteria in areas rich in sebaceous glands. In the case of a covered glans the density of microorganisms increases. Prevalent are gramnegative anaerobes, especially Bacterioides melaninogenicus, also enterococci, enterobacteria and coagulase-positive staphylococci.
通过对210名健康男性（43名年龄在2至11岁的儿童、137名年龄在12至60岁的男性以及30名60岁以上的男性）阴茎头、冠状沟及相邻包皮进行涂片和培养，确定了包皮腔的细菌菌群。结果根据各种标准进行分组，例如阴茎头是否覆盖以及男性年龄。在细菌分布方面可发现与年龄有关的差异。对于未覆盖的阴茎头，微生物菌群的存在与皮脂腺丰富区域的革兰氏阳性腐生菌相对应。对于覆盖的阴茎头，微生物密度增加。常见的是革兰氏阴性厌氧菌，尤其是产黑色素拟杆菌，还有肠球菌、肠杆菌和凝固酶阳性葡萄球菌。
