Comparison of two techniques for obtaining endometrial bacteriologic cultures in the mare. Abstract Text:

T L Blanchard,M C Garcia,J P Hurtgen,R M Kenney,

The endometria of 39 mares were cultured simultaneously using a swab guarded with a double cannula and distal, teflon plug and an unguarded swab with a single, open cannula. Sheep blood (5%) agar, Mac-Conkey's agar, and Sabourad's agar media were innoculated with each swab. The presence of bacterial or fungal growth was determined after 24 and 48 hours of aerobic incubation at 37 C. There were significantly more plates that failed to yield bacterial or fungal growth when streaked with swab specimens obtained with the guarded cannula than when streaked with those obtained with the unguarded cannula. It was concluded that while culturing the endometrium of mares for bacteria or fungi, the use of a guarded instrument consisting of a double cannula with a closed end will result in the recovery of fewer contaminants; therefore, it will be more likely to result in a more accurate representation of uterine bacterial and fungal flora.
