mRNA transcript levels of endometrial genes of TLR, NLR, antimicrobial peptides and MMP. The mRNA transcript levels of genes associated with a toll-like receptors (TLR), b NOD-like receptors (NLR), c antimicrobial peptides and d matrix metallopeptidases (MMP). Gene expression is presented in copies per million reads (CPM), bars represent the mean CPM values, error bars the range. Significant differences (adjusted P < 0.05) between post and pre inoculation expression are indicated by asterisks: ‘*’ represents significant differences between estrus samples and ‘**’ significant differences between dioestrus samples. Letters indicate significant differences between cycle stages: ‘a’ represents a significant difference between oestrus and dioestrus before inoculation, and ‘b’ between oestrus and dioestrus after inoculation
