【 摘 要 】

One hundred dairy cows of the Itajaí Valley, Santa Catarina, south Brazil, which were in post-puerperal period, were submitted to a gynecological examination and divided in four groups of 25 animals each as follow: Group A - clinically normal; Group B -genital catarrh of 1st degree; Group C - genital catarrh of 2nd degree; Group D - genital catarrh of 3rd degree. The bacteriological exam of cervico-uterine secretions revealed bacterial growth in 57 cows being that 46 of those that had genital catarrh. Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus beta-haemolitic, Bacillus sp., Escherichia coli, Actinomyces pyogenes, Serratia odorífera, Proteus mirabilis and Candida sp. Were the microrganisms most often isolated. Since that bacteriological growth was detected in the four groups of cows it was concluded that there was no relationship between microrganims growth and clinic of genital catarrh.
