Twenty-three of 24 mares were infected experimentally with contagious equine metritis organisms by intrauterine inoculation, and killed 2-116 days later. From mares killed within 14 days after infection the organism could be recovered from many sites in the uterus, and most sites in the cervix, a few sites in the vagina and oviduct and from one clitoral sinus. At this time the endometrial folds were swollen and there were 10-20 ml of fluid in the uterus. In mares killed after 14 days, the organism was recovered from the ovarian surface (1 mare), oviduct (4 mares), uterus (2 mares) and the clitoral sinus (3 mares). Severe diffuse endometritis and cervicitis was initially acute, and became more severe subacute and predominantly plasmacytic by 14 days, then declined but persisted throughout the experiment.
24匹母马中有23匹通过子宫内接种被实验性感染传染性马子宫内膜炎病原体，并在2至116天后被处死。在感染后14天内处死的母马中，病原体可从子宫的许多部位、子宫颈的大多数部位、阴道和输卵管的一些部位以及一个阴蒂窦中分离出来。此时子宫内膜皱襞肿胀，子宫内有10至20毫升液体。在14天后处死的母马中，病原体从卵巢表面（1匹母马）、输卵管（4匹母马）、子宫（2匹母马）和阴蒂窦（3匹母马）中分离出来。严重的弥漫性子宫内膜炎和宫颈炎最初是急性的，到14天时变得更严重，呈亚急性且主要为浆细胞性，然后病情减轻但在整个实验过程中持续存在。
