Abstract

The etiological factor in the occurrence of endometritis should be considered pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microflora that penetrates into the uterus if the rules of asepsis and antiseptics are not followed. Bacterial contamination of the uterine cavity occurs more often in cows after calving or artificial insemination. The presence of clinical endometritis depends on the balance between microbes, the body’s resistance and a number of other factors. To study the uterine contents in endometritis in cows, the samples of N.A. Flegmatov, V.S. were used. Dyudenko and Katerinova, as well as the species composition of microorganisms and their sensitivity to antibiotics were determined by the disco diffusion method. The results of the research showed that the microflora of the contents of the uterus is mainly represented by bacteria of the E. coli group, opportunistic microflora and pathogenic fungi more sensitive to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin.
