  1. a, b, c, d: Means with different superscripts between conditions differ significantly (P < 0.05). 1Standard error of the mean (SEM): 0.08. CM: cervical mucus. MB: M. bovis. SP4: Specific medium for Mycoplasma spp. isolation (conditions without CM). L1: Lactobacillus spp. at a concentration of 3.24 × 106 UFC/mL. L2: Lactobacillus spp. at a concentration of 3.24 × 108 UFC/mL. Conditions not contaminated with mycoplasmas are not included
