A study of the bacterial flora of the genitalia of nulliparous Savanna Brown does was carried out both before breeding and at different intervals postpartum to investigate the type of microbial organisms that could be present in the uterus, cervix and the vagina respectively. Of 29 pre-breeding vaginal swabs, Staphylococcus sp. was isolated from 20 goats, Streptococcus sp. from 15 goats and Micrococcus sp. from four goats. Mycoplasma agalactiae was isolated from five goats. The postpartum vagina did not show any appreciable change in the microbial flora, except that Escherichia coli was encountered in two cases. The uterus yielded E. coli from the goats slaughtered 2 days postpartum; Micrococcus sp. from goats slaughtered 12 days postpartum; Staph. aureus from goats slaughtered 16 days postpartum and Staph. aureus from goats slaughtered 24 days postpartum. Also in these two cases-a goat slaughtered at two days postpartum (dpp) and a goat slaughtered 16 dpp-E. coli was present in the uterus. Other isolates from the uteri of slaughtered goats were Micrococcus sp. (12 dpp), Staph. aureus and Micrococcus sp. (16 dpp) and Staph. aureus (24 dpp).
对未生育的热带草原棕色母羊在配种前及产后不同时间段的生殖器官细菌菌群进行了研究，以分别调查子宫、子宫颈和阴道中可能存在的微生物种类。在29份配种前阴道拭子中，从20只山羊中分离出葡萄球菌属，从15只山羊中分离出链球菌属，从4只山羊中分离出微球菌属。从5只山羊中分离出无乳支原体。产后阴道的微生物菌群没有明显变化，只是在两例中发现了大肠杆菌。从产后2天宰杀的山羊子宫中分离出大肠杆菌；从产后12天宰杀的山羊子宫中分离出微球菌属；从产后16天宰杀的山羊子宫中分离出金黄色葡萄球菌；从产后24天宰杀的山羊子宫中分离出金黄色葡萄球菌。同样在这两例中——产后2天宰杀的山羊和产后16天宰杀的山羊——子宫中存在大肠杆菌。从宰杀山羊的子宫中分离出的其他菌株有微球菌属（产后12天）、金黄色葡萄球菌和微球菌属（产后16天）以及金黄色葡萄球菌（产后24天）。
