Isolation of Gardnerella vaginalis from the reproductive tract of four mares

SA Salmon, RD Walker, CL Carleton, and BE Robinson

Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory, Michigan State University, East Lansing 48824.

A gram-variable pleomorphic bacillus was isolated from the reproductive tracts of 4 mares during routine prebreeding soundness examinations. Using a commercial bacterial identification system, these organisms were identified as Streptococcus acidominimus. However, colonial and Gram-staining characteristics did not support this identification. Subsequent testing indicated the organism was similar to Gardnerella vaginalis. Additional growth and biochemical analysis performed in our laboratory and at the Michigan Department of Public Health and by the Center for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia, confirmed the identification of G. vaginalis.
