The literature on the bacterial flora in the vagina of the bitch is reviewed. The bacterial flora in the vagina of healthy bitches is compared with the flora of infertile bitches and bitches with vaginitis, and the role of Brucella canis as a cause of infertility is evaluated. Several investigators have recommended that bitches with reproductive disorders be treated with antibacterial drugs, but there is very little knowledge of the effect of this therapy on the bacterial flora in the vagina.

A total of 169 dog sera was tested for antibodies to Brucella canis and B abortus using rose bengal stained antigens. No antibody to either organism was found in 118 samples. Three samples from dogs known to have been in contact with the organism, contained antibody to B abortus. Two, both from doberman pinscher bitches with American ancestry but born in Britain, contained significant levels of antibody to B canis. One sample which had been taken following caesarian section for a dead pup had an antibody titre of 1:1280 to B canis in the serum agglutination test and the other, taken from a young bitch with pyrexia, had a titre of 1:320. These serological findings were considered to indicate that B canis infection may be present in dogs in Britain.

The performance of a serum PCR assay was compared with that of a blood PCR assay for the diagnosis of canine brucellosis caused by Brucella canis in 72 dogs. The dogs were classified into three groups (infected, non-infected and suspected brucellosis) according to the results of blood culture and serological tests. The sensitivities of blood PCR and serum PCR were, respectively, 97.14 per cent and 25.71 per cent. The specificities of both were 100 per cent. In the group of dogs with suspected brucellosis, three were positive by blood PCR and none was positive by serum PCR. Serum PCR showed little value for the direct diagnosis of canine brucellosis as the assay had low diagnostic sensitivity and fewer positive dogs were detected by this test than by blood culture, blood PCR, rapid slide agglutination test (RSAT) and RSAT with 2-mercaptoethanol.
