The interrelation of uterine culture with course of involution, resumption of cyclic ovarian activity and subsequent reproduction were studied.It was observed that in acute putrid (end0)metriti.s(APE) the A .pyogenes, E. coli and some Gram-negative (GN) anaerobes have more important role in the pathogenesis than other bacteria.The intrauterine A .pyogenes infection lasting for 4 to 5 weeks or longer (with or without simultaneous GN anaerobic infection) was the most detrimental on fertility, perhaps due to the increased rate of suspected embryonic death.If predictive information is required on the subsequent fertility, the isolation of A .pyogenes on the 5'h week after calving seems to be sufficient for monitoring the uterine condition.The APE was able to elongate the postpartum anovulatory period and increase the prevalence of anovulatory cysts.
