Fig. 1.

Isolation of bacteria from vaginal swab samples from Labrador retriever bitches (n = 38) before (day 0) and after (day 63) the oral administration of lactic-acid probiotic bacteria. The percentages of cultures on which single species and mixed species grew were calculated for bitches with positive bacterial tests on day 0 (n = 32) and day 63 (n = 36)
