Osteopontin: an early innate immune marker of Escherichia coli mastitis harbors genetic polymorphisms with possible links with resistance to mastitis.

16 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Mastitis is the most important disease in dairy cows and it causes significant lost of profit to producers. Identification of the genes, and their variants, involved in innate immune responses is essential for the understanding of this ... Read more...

Herd-level prevalence of Mycoplasma spp mastitis and characteristics of infected dairy herds in Utah as determined by a statewide survey.

13 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine herd-level prevalence of Mycoplasma spp mastitis in Utah dairy herds and characterize farms and management practices for positive herds. DESIGN: Epidemiologic study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Bulk tank milk samples from 222 of 285 ... Read more...

Antimicrobial resistance of streptococci isolated from mastitic bovine milk samples in Korea.

30 Aug 2009 The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance of streptococci isolated from mastitic bovine milk samples. A total of 178 isolates belonging to 6 different Streptococcus species were examined: S. uberis (n = 99), S. bovis (n = ... Read more...
