The objective of this study was to find out microbial cause of repeat breeding in ten repeat breeder Murrah buffaloes at Government Livestock Farm, Sector-II, Hisar. The cytological samples were obtained from these buffaloes’ uterus using cytobrush technique and relating the findings to the presence of polymorphonuclear cells, identification of bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity pattern is reported. The subclinical endometritis was declared on the basis of presence of ≥ 10% polymorphonuclear cells in endometrial smears. Besides Bacillus (5), mixed infection of Staphylococci + E. coli (3), Bacillus + E. coli (1), and Proteus + Bacillus (1) was also recorded. There was highest prevalence of Bacillus (46.66%) followed by E. coli (26.67 %), Staphylococci (20.0%) and Proteus (6.66%). The bacterial isolates reported in the present study showed highest sensitivity (60%) towards Moxifloxacin and Enrofloxacin followed by Chloramphenicol and Gentamicin (33.3%) and least towards Ceftriaxone and Cefoperazone (13.3%). All the isolates showed resistance towards Penicillin-G, Ofloxacin, Amoxicillin, Oxytetracycline, Ampicillin, Neomycin, Amikacin, Cloxacillin and Cephalexin.The findings of the present study revealed that cytobrush technique could preferentially be used to detect subclinical endometritis in clinical practice.
