The prevalence of prostatic cysts was evaluated in 85 adult, male dogs weighing more than 16 kg which were admitted for problems unrelated to the prostate gland. Urine culture and prostatic evaluation by ultrasonography were performed in all dogs. Prostatic cysts were identified in 12 (14%) of the 85 dogs. Cultures of prostatic cysts were positive in five (42%) of the 12 dogs. Nonclinical, aerobic bacteriuria was documented in 9% of the study population. Urine cultures correlated with prostatic cyst cultures in four of the five dogs that had positive prostatic cyst cultures. Results of this study indicate that the prevalence of prostatic cysts in adult, intact male dogs is approximately 14% and that approximately 42% are infected with bacteria.
对85只体重超过16千克、因与前列腺无关的问题入院的成年雄性犬进行了前列腺囊肿患病率评估。对所有犬进行了尿液培养和前列腺超声检查。85只犬中有12只（14%）发现有前列腺囊肿。12只犬中有5只（42%）的前列腺囊肿培养呈阳性。9%的研究群体有非临床性需氧菌尿。在前列腺囊肿培养呈阳性的5只犬中，有4只的尿液培养与前列腺囊肿培养结果相关。本研究结果表明，成年未绝育雄性犬前列腺囊肿的患病率约为14%，约42%的囊肿感染了细菌。
