Estudo comparativo da microbiota vaginal e uterina de acordo com a fase do ciclo estral de cadelas e gatas submetidas ovariossalpingohisterectomia no HV/CSTR-UFCG.

Abstract

Various diseases affecting domestic animals and reproductive diseases are of great importance and may lead to systemic complications leading to death of females. The Pyometra is a disease that occurs when the uterus is colonized by pathogenic microorganisms,that most part are of the resident microbiota of the female's vagina, in occasions several of factors can multiply and generate the disease. The objective of this study was to compare the colonization of the reproductive tract microbiota of healthy dogs and cats through the isolation and identification of microorganisms and relate their presence with the phases of the estrous cycle by determining at what stage of the estrous cycle higher rate of colonization occurs. 32 animals were used, 16 of the feline specie and 16 of the canine specie, healthy, at different stages of the estrous cycle, submitted ovariohysterectomy (OSH) elective at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Campina Grande (HV / CSTR-UFCG) in city of Patos, Paraíba. Were collected from each animal, biological samples for cytology, microbiology vaginal and uterine. Based on these results it is concluded that there was a higher colonization in the samples from the cranial vagina chicks compared vaginal samples bitches. Demonstrating that the most common phase in the experiment was the anestrus.
