Postpartum uterine diseases, such as puerperal metritis and clinical endometritis may affect over 40 % of cows in dairy farms. Regardless of their severity, these diseases are one of the main reasons for impaired fertility, causing declines in dairy cow productivity and hence, resulting in economic losses. Although uterine diseases have been the topic of scientific discussion for many years, until now it was not possible to agree on uniform definitions for the different kinds of manifestation. By including technical innovations and testing procedures, enormous scientific progress and a deeper knowledge of the physiology as well as the pathologic mechanisms have been achieved. Bovine metritis and endometritis may be regarded as multifactorial diseases caused by a combination of microbial infection, the dysregulation of the immune system, and additional risk factors. These interactions have been analyzed on microbial and molecular biological levels as well as by the use of bioinformatics and molecular genetics. As a result, new species of bacteria and inflammatory mediators possibly contributing to the development of uterine diseases have recently been described. Additionally, metabolic and genetic risk factors and their roles in leading to fertility impairment have been evaluated. In conclusion, it was possible to identify new approaches for possible therapeutic and preventive methods, a subset of which may already be implemented into daily practical routine. This article provides an overview of recent scientific results concerning bovine metritis and endometritis with a focus on microbial, microbiological and immunological studies.
