  • Title: Normal vaginal aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora of the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta).
    Author: Doyle L, Young CL, Jang SS, Hillier SL.
    Journal: J Med Primatol; 1991 Oct; 20(8):409-13. PubMed ID: 1803013.
    Abstract:
    The most common bacterial species isolated from the vaginas of 37 healthy rhesus macaques were Streptococcus viridans, coagulase negative Staphylococcus, Mobiluncus curtisii ss. curtisii, Corynebacterium renale-like organisms, Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, Gardnerella-like organisms, and other Corynebacterium species. The vaginal flora of the rhesus macaque differs from that previously reported for five other primate species. A two-year retrospective review of clinical cases of vaginitis and metritis found Escherichia coli and coagulase positive Staphylococci to be the most common pathogens isolated.
