Summary. Inoculation of Corynebacterium pyogenes or Vibrio foetus into the uterine lumen of ewes on the 10th day of the oestrous cycle resulted in a prolongation in the life of the corpus luteum in six out of eleven animals. In three animals, the corpora were still fully functional on Day 21 of the cycle, as judged by their progesterone concentration, as well as the progesterone concentration in ovarian vein blood.
