Endometritis is caused by endometrial cell injury and chronic inflammation of uteri infected by pathogens, leading to reproductive failure in dairy cows. Changes of the endometrial immune response regulates the development of endometritis. In a recent discovery, exosomes acted as a functional regulator secreted by a variety of cells, however, its regulatory mechanism in the local immune response of the uteri is still unclear. In this study, flow cytometry was performed to identify the increased number of T lymphocytes, namely Tc cells, in the uteri with endometritis while the Th and Treg cells decreased very significantly. Moreover, the functional marker …

The present study aimed to survey the prevalence of microbial isolates in the uterus of sub-fertile Arabian mares and to identify their existing antimicrobial sensitivities. In addition, to evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobial therapy based on the fertility outcomes determined by sonographic pregnancy diagnosis. Double guarded uterine swabs were collected from (barren) Arabian mares during mid-estrus. Based on the laboratory findings of microbial culture and antimicrobial sensitivity, mares were treated, inseminated and tested for pregnancy two weeks after ovulation. The predominant microbial isolates were Beta-hemolytic streptococci (BHS) (38.9%), Escherichia coli (E. coli) (33.3%), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (20.4%) and Candida …
