FLORES-HERNANDEZ, Wilfrido et al. Vaginal microbiota and antimicrobial susceptibility in creole goats. Abanico vet [online]. 2020, vol.10, e128. Epub 02-Mar-2021. ISSN 2448-6132. https://doi.org/10.21929/abavet2020.37.
This work´s aim was the aerobic vaginal microbiota determination of creole goats and its antimicrobial susceptibility. Vaginal swabs were taken of 51 healthy female goats in reproductive age. Samples were processed under standard bacteriological conditions. Bacterial isolation was achieved in 41.2% of the samples. Gram-positive (GP) cocci were the most abundant bacteria recovered (65.6%), the principal genera detected were Staphylococcus spp. (31.2%) and Aerococcus spp. (21.9%). Escherichia coli was the only Gram-negative (GN) genus detected. In the antimicrobial susceptibility test Aerococcus and Corynebacterium jeikeum were the most susceptible GP bacteria. Dicloxacillin, cefotaxime, and ampicillin had the lowest resistance pattern on GP bacteria. On the other hand, E. coli isolates showed high resistance to all antibiotics (95%), except for ciprofloxacin (60%). This work findings exhibit the importance of vaginal microbiota of creole goats as potential pathogenic ecological agents, as well as it showed the high antimicrobial resistance pattern of this bacteria.
