چکیده

The aim of the study was to evaluate enzymatic activities of yeasts isolated from inflammatory mammary secretion. The yeasts isolated from cows with clinical and sub-clinical mastitis (134 strains) included: Candida krusei (62 strains), Candida kefyr (48 strains), Candida lusitaniae (17 strains) and Candida famata (7 strains). The API ZYM system was used containing substrates to assess 19 hydrolytic enzymes. Substantial differences in the number and activity of hydrolyses were demonstrated in individual species. In Candida krusei, acid phosphatase showed the highest activity (4.36 points), in Candida kefyr and Candida lusitaniae--leucine arylamidase (4.93 and 4.25 points, respectively), in Candida famata--alpha-glucosidase (4.75 points). No activity of trypsin, chymotrypsin, alpha-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-mannosidase or alpha-fucosidase was observed in any of the yeasts examined.

Role of neutrophils in protection of udder from infection in high yielding dairy cows

Protection of the mammary gland against mastitis-causing pathogens is mediated by many factors in thegland and blood circulation. The professional phagocytic cells of bovine udder, polymorphonuclearneutrophils (PMN) and macrophages, comprise the first line of defense against invading mastitis pathogens.Most researchers now accept that the PMN is a key factor in the cows’ defense against intrama...

Identification of Candida species isolated from cows suffering mastitis in four Brazilian states

Mammary gland inflammation (mastitis) continues to be the most frequent and expensive disease of dairy cows (Zaragoza et al., 2011). It negatively influences the economic effectiveness of farms and the hygienic quality of milk (Bradley, 2002). More than 135 different microorganisms have been found as etiological agents of mastitis (Watts, 1988; Bradley, 2002). In addition to bacterial agents, s...

Characteristics of staphylococci isolated from clinical and subclinical mastitis cows in Shahrekord, Iran

Staphylococci isolated from 98 mastitic cow’s milk samples were analyzed for the production of alpha,beta and delta-hemolysin on sheep, bovine and horse red blood cells and in vitro susceptibility to several antimicrobial agents. Out of a total of 18 isolated strains, 100% demonstrated hemolytic activity either alone or in combined forms. Among 8 isolates of S. aureus 3 isolates produced α/β an...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between different indices of milk yield andbody condition score (BCS) with the commencement of the luteal activity (C-LA) during the postpartumperiod in high producing dairy cows. Seventy-one multiparous healthy (free of detectable reproductivedisorders) Holstein dairy cows (mean peak milk yield = 56.7 ± 7.4 kg) were used in the prese...
