Abstract

In the present study, a total of70 cervico vaginal mucus (CVM) samples comprising IO samples from healthy buffaloes
and 60 samples from clinical cases of endometritis were screened for bacterial isolates. All IO CVM samples collected from
healthy buffaloes did not yield any bacterial culture. CVM samples collected from buffaloes with unhealthy discharge, 54 (90%)
CVM samples had bacterial growth comprising 87.04 and 12.96% single and mixed type isolates, respectively. Where as 6 CVM
samples did not yield any bacterial culture. The frequency of Staphylococcus spp. was found to be maximum followed by
Bacillus spp., E.coli, Proteus spp., Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Salmonella spp. The per cent sensitivity of
bacterial isolates was found to be maximum for gentamycin followed by chloramphenicol, enrotloxacin, cephalexin, tetracycline,
ampicillin, co-trimoxazole and furazolidone.
