One hundred and fifteen bacterial and 16 fungal isolates were obtained from 46 cervico-vaginal mucus of buffaloes. Majority (85.1) of the mucus harbored one to three species of bacteria which represented the normal bacterial flora in the urogenital tract. The bacterial genera identified from the mucus in order of importance were Bacillus Staphylococcus Escherichia Streptococcus Micrococcus Pseudomonas and Corynebacterium. No difference was observed in the distribution of the bacterial species amongst the different reproductive groups of buffaloes. No evidence of pathogenic bacterial was detected in any of the mucus samples.

Abstract

One hundred and fifteen bacterial and 16 fungal isolates were obtained from 46 cervico-vaginal mucus of buffaloes. Majority (85.1) of the mucus harbored one to three species of bacteria which represented the normal bacterial flora in the urogenital tract. The bacterial genera identified from the mucus in order of importance were Bacillus Staphylococcus Escherichia Streptococcus Micrococcus Pseudomonas and Corynebacterium. No difference was observed in the distribution of the bacterial species amongst the different reproductive groups of buffaloes. No evidence of pathogenic bacterial was detected in any of the mucus samples.
