Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus and Mycoplasma spp. were the most frequently isolated aerobic microorganisms in specimens obtained from the prepuce and urethra of 20 normal, adult male dogs. S. aureus and Streptococcus canis were the most frequently isolated bacteria in specimens collected from the vagina (in the area of the urethral orifice) of 29 normal intact bitches and 20 sprayed bitches. A significant difference was not found in observed frequency of occurrence of any microorganisms isolated from the intact vs. spayed bitches.
