BACKGROUND
Various infectious agents can infect the male reproductive system.
OBJECTIVES
The aims of this study were to provide current data on fungal and yeast flora of the external organs of reproductive system of male short hair cats including penis and prepuce.
METHODS
In total 28 samples were taken from external genital system of male stray cats using sterilised cotton swabs. Samples were taken based on the absence of any reproductive complications using physical examinations. The samples were transferred to sterilised Stuart transport media and were then incubated in the Sabouraud dextrose agar with chloramphenicol at 32°C for 48 h. The identification of fungi and yeasts was confirmed by germ tube formation test, CHROM agar, urease testing and Corn meal agar medium with Tween 80.
RESULTS
Fungal agents were isolated from 7 (25%) out of 28 male stray cats. Fungal isolates were obtained from the penis and prepuce of 4 (36%) and 7 (100%) male cats, respectively. The most commonly recovered species samples were Candida krusei (3.75%) and Penicillum spp. (6.86%) from the penis and prepuce of the cats, respectively. The external organs of male reproduction of cats were infected with 2-4 different fungal agents. Only 5 (45%) cats were infected with one fungus; however, in 6 (55%) cats, mixed fungal infections were isolated. Cats 3-4 years old had the highest fungal contamination in the prepuce region (4/7), while the penis at this age had the least contamination (1/4).
CONCLUSIONS
It is concluded that the external reproduction organs of male cats could be infected by different fungal agents.
背景
各种感染因子均可感染男性生殖系统。
目的
本研究旨在提供有关雄性短毛猫生殖系统外生殖器（包括阴茎和包皮）真菌和酵母菌群的最新数据。
方法
使用无菌棉签从 28 只流浪公猫的外生殖器采集 28 个样本。根据体格检查未发现任何生殖并发症来采集样本。将样本转移到无菌 Stuart 转运培养基中，然后在含氯霉素的沙氏葡萄糖琼脂中于 32°C 孵育 48 小时。通过芽管形成试验、CHROM 琼脂、脲酶试验和含吐温 80 的玉米粉琼脂培养基来确认真菌和酵母的鉴定。
结果
从 28 只雄性流浪猫中分离出 7 只（25%）真菌。从 4 只（36%）和 7 只（100%）公猫的阴茎和包皮中分别分离出真菌。从猫的阴茎和包皮中获得的最常见的分离物是近平滑念珠菌（3.75%）和青霉属（6.86%）。猫的雄性生殖外器官感染了 2-4 种不同的真菌病原体。只有 5 只（45%）猫感染了一种真菌；然而，在 6 只（55%）猫中分离出混合真菌感染。3-4 岁的猫在包皮区域的真菌污染最高（4/7），而这个年龄段的阴茎污染最少（1/4）。
结论
雄性猫的外生殖器官可能会被不同的真菌病原体感染。
