Summary The objective of the study was to determine the bacterial contaminants causing endometritis in cycling Anatolian water buffalo cows at Afyonkarahisar province Turkey. Data were collected from the genital tracts of 71 cycling pluriparious slaughtered water buffalo cows that had not conceived after three or more services following observed oestrus with no abnormal vaginal discharge presented. Animals were divided into two groups as luteal and follicular phase. Swabs for bacteriology and tissues for histopathology were collected from the cornu uteri of each buffalo. Totally 76% of buffaloes were found to have any histopathological changes, whereas mild endometrial inflammatory changes were commonly found from the remainders. The microorganisms most prevalent in the uterine lumen were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida spp. and Trueperella pyogenes in both healthy uteri and those presenting with mild endometritis. Most of the isolates were recovered from luteal phase. The uteruses of buffalo cows affected with endometritis defined by histopathology showed no bacterial isolation in follicular phase of the oestrous cycle. It is suggested that E. coli and T. pyogenes existing in normal uterus might be the most non-specific uterine pathogens that were associated with endometritis in Anatolian water buffaloes.
