In 14 herds totaling over 2000 cattle the bacterial species most frequently isolated from the vagina, fetus, and fetal membranes following abortion or reproductive failure were Streptococcus, Corynebacterium, Bacillus, and Staphylococcus, less often E coli. About 5% of the total 1810 isolations included various other agents. Although most of the aborted fetuses had undergone autolysis, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, and placental lesions were observed in a few cases.
在总计超过2000头牛的14个牛群中，流产或生殖失败后从阴道、胎儿及胎膜中最常分离出的细菌种类为链球菌、棒状杆菌、芽孢杆菌和葡萄球菌，大肠杆菌较少见。在总共1810次分离中，约5%包括各种其他病原体。虽然大多数流产胎儿已发生自溶，但少数病例中观察到肺部、肝脏、肾脏和胎盘病变。
