Title: | Results of bacteriological and cytological examinations of the endometrium of subfertile mares in stud farms in Serbia | Authors: | Miroslav Urosevic Branislav Lako Dušanka Milanov Urošević, Ivana Aurich C. |
Issue Date: | 1-Sep-2010 | Journal: | Berliner und Munchener Tierarztliche Wochenschrift | Abstract: | Uterine microbiology, antimicrobial susceptibility and endometrial cytology were investigated in a total of 61 mares with fertility problems from 13 different stud farms in Serbia. Uterine cultures were performed after collection with a double guarded uterine swab, and endometrial cytology was evaluated after collection of endometrial cells with a special device (cytology brush). In 21 of 61 mares, at least one bacterial species was isolated from the uterus; the most frequent were Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (13 isolates) and E. coli (four isolates). All isolates of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus were susceptible to penicillin. Results from endometrial cytology were inconsistent; in 17 animals with positive bacteriological culture, cytology was not altered. It can be concluded that in Serbia, as in many other contries, Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus is the main cause for equine endometritis. It can be easily diagnosed by uterine culture but endometrial cytology does not always prove the existence of an endometrial infection with this agent. © 2010 Schlütersche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH & Co.
