Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the bacterial vaginal flora and different sexual cycle. Fifty three bitches from different breeds were used as material. Vaginal swab samples were taken from the vagina of bitches, which were transported in the Stuart transport medium for bacteriological examinations, and swab samples were examined by routine methods. Thereafter, vaginal cytology was applied on every bitch for distinguishing the cycle's periods. Fifty six microorganisms were isolated from 48 of 53 bitches from different breeds (90.5%). Nine E.coli (16%), 9 Candida spp. (16%), 6 Citrobacter diversus (10.7%), 5 Citrobacter freundii (8.9%), 4 Klebsiella oxytoca (7.1%), 4 Klebsiella pneumonaiae (7.1%), 3 S. aureus (5.3%), 3 S. intermedius (5.3%), 3 Bacillus spp. (5.3%), 2 S. saprophticus (3.5%), 2 Streptococcus agalactiae (3.5%), 2 Micrococcus spp (3.5%), 2 Citrobacter amalonaticus (3.5%) and 2 Enterobacter agglomerans (3.5%) of 56 bacteria were identified. As a result, it was determined that different bacteria could grow as well as same bacteria at different stage of sexual cycles and vaginal flora was determined mixed character.

Özet

Bu çalışmada köpeklerde farklı siklus evrelerindeki bakteriyel vaginal floranın incelenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmada değişik ırklardan 53 adet dişi köpek materyal olarak kullanıldı. Bakteriyolojik incelemeler için dişi köpeklerin vâginasından alınan svablar Stüart transport medium içinde laboratuara ulaştırıldı ve rutin metotlarla incelendi. Svapların alınmasının ardından siklus dönemlerinin belirlenmesi için her bir köpeğe vaginal sitoloji uygulandı. Çeşitli ırklardan 53 adet köpeğin 48. (%90.5)'inden 56 adet etken izole edildi. Bunların 9'u E.coli (%16), 9'u Candida spp. (%16), 6'sı Citrobacter diversus (%10.7), 5'i. Citrobacter freundii (%8.9), 4'ü Klebsiella oxytoca (%7.1), 4'ü Klebsiella pneumoniae (%7.1), 3'ü S. aureus (%5.3), 3'ü S. intermedius (%5.3), 3'ü Bacillus spp. (%5.3), 2'si. S. saprophyticus (%3.5), 2'si Streptococcus agalactiae (%3.5), 2'si Micrococcus spp. (%3.5), 2'si Citrobacter amalonaticus (%3.5) ve 2'si Enterobacter agglomerans (%3.5) olarak izole ve identifiye edildi. Sonuçta farklı siklus evrelerinde farklı etkenlerin yanı sıra aynı etkenlerin de üreyebildiği ve vaginal floranın karışık karakterde olduğu saptandı.
