bovine mastitis
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008
bovine mastitis bacterial inflammation of the udder in dairy cattle. It is spread during the process of milking, either by machine or by hand, and by flies. The symptoms include inflammation of the udder and clotted, bloody milk. If gangrene develops, death can result. Control of the disease requires sanitary facilities, proper milking procedures, and the segregation of affected animals. The disease is now treated by penicillin in combination with a sulfa drug and other antibiotics.

Phenotypic and Genetic Antibiogram of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci Isolated from Bovine Mastitis in Korea
Journal of Dairy Science; 3/1/2007; Moon, J-S; Lee, A-R; Kang, H-M; Lee, E-S; Et al; 787 words
; ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus belongs to the group of major contagious mastitis pathogens, whereas the coagulasenegative staphylococci (CNS) are also capable of causing opportunistic bovine mastitis. Many of these strains are resistant to penicillin or ampicillin because of the long-term use of
