Snippet: The study revealed 13/15 negative cultures from clean voided urine samples. This is of clinical relevance since a negative culture is useful regardless of the sampling method. Further, the results suggest that one should be prudent when interpreting ejaculate cultures, since a large proportion of ejaculates from healthy dogs had bacterial growth. In addition, there were concordant culture results from the respective lavage fluids and ejaculates. .....
Document: The study revealed 13/15 negative cultures from clean voided urine samples. This is of clinical relevance since a negative culture is useful regardless of the sampling method. Further, the results suggest that one should be prudent when interpreting ejaculate cultures, since a large proportion of ejaculates from healthy dogs had bacterial growth. In addition, there were concordant culture results from the respective lavage fluids and ejaculates. Whether the bacteria grown from the ejaculates represent actual bacterial colonization of the prostate, or contamination from the prepuce and distal urethra, is yet to be determined. Further studies including prostate sampling (e.g. aspirates) are needed.
