We report a case of calculi in a Skene's gland abscess produced by Ureaplasma urealyticum. The enzyme urease, produced by the Ureaplasma urealyticum, is thought to be the etiological factor in stone production, vaginitis and urethritis.

The role of microorganisms belonging to the genus Corynebacterium in normalization of vaginal biocenosis by creating acid medium is discussed. A total of 300 samples of lochia and vaginal and cervical secretion were examined, 140 of these taken from women without gynecological diseases and women with a normal course of the postpartum period (controls) and 160 from patients with colpitis of various origins and a complicated course of the puerperium. An appreciable increase of the level of diphtheroids was observed in the lochia of control subjects and in all samples of patients (p < 0.01). Eight species of Corynebacterium were isolated. Urease-negative C. minutissimum, C. equi, C. aquaticum, and C. xerosis predominated in both controls and patients (p < 0.01). Opportunistic C. bovis, C. enzymicum, C. kutshevi, and C. sp. possessing urease activity were seldom isolated. No differences between the 2 groups in the species composition of the isolated bacteria were detected (p > 0.05). Two species of Corynebacterium were sometimes isolated from the same sample, this being more frequently with vaginal and cervical secretion samples than with lochia both in controls and patients (p < 0.01). The most incident association was C. aquaticum and C. equi. 59.6 +/- 2.7 isolated strains proved to be sensitive to antibiotics manufactured in this country.

A total of seven Bacteroides ureolyticus strains were isolated from the cervix and the clitoral fossa of mares with vaginal discharge. No other bacteria capable of causing metritis or vaginitis were isolated from the samples. The isolated strains resembled Taylorella equigenitalis. Both species are catalase, oxidase and alkaline phosphatase positive, but, in addition to these characteristics, B. ureolyticus strains produced urease and they could not tolerate 10% O2. They also failed to be agglutinated in a hyperimmune serum raised against T. equigenitalis; however, B. ureolyticus and T. equigenitalis were agglutinated in the slide agglutination test in a serum produced against one of the B. ureolyticus isolates. Further investigations are needed to clarify the pathologic role of B. ureolyticus in genital infections of mares and other animals.
