Vaginal discharge from 119 dairy cows from 59 herds was examined bacteriologically, including application of the IDEIA Chlamydia test, to detect genus-specific chlamydial LPS-antigen. A putrid quality of specimens was closely correlated with isolation of Actinomyces pyogenes (p < 0.001). The IDEIA was positive for 39 of 65 (60.0%) non-putrid specimens and for 16 of 54 (29.6%) putrid specimens; a non-putrid quality of specimens was closely correlated with the detection of chlamydial antigen (p < 0.01). IDEIA-positive results were confirmed by a blocking-antibody assay and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a set of primers based on the 16S rRNA sequences of Chlamydia psittaci. Chlamydia-positive non-putrid specimens generally yielded no other bacterial pathogens. The clinical history of repeat breeding and endometritis, as well as failure to isolate other bacterial pathogens on routinely used non-living media, were strongly suggestive of primary chlamydial involvement in these cases.
