abstract

the objective of the present study was to determine whether there was an association between the in vitroantimicrobial sensitivity test results of subclinical mastitis pathogensand bacteriological cure following intramammary treatment using a combination of nafcillin, penicillin, and streptomycin (nps). eighty-six intramammary pathogens from 43 cows were examined inthis study. most intramammary infections were due to coagulase-negative staphylococci, coliforms, and environmental streptococci. the antibiotic sensitivity to nps was determined using the kirby-bauer disc diffusion method. bacteriological cure rates for sensitive, intermediate, and resistant isolates in the standard treatment group (3 intramammary infusions of nps once daily) were 84.4, 88.9, and 100%, respectively. these figures in the extended treatment group (6 intramammary infusions of nps once daily) were 100% for the 3 categories. bacteriological cure was not associated with the sensitivity test result. based on this study, kirby-bauer sensitivity test results were not useful as predictors of the bacteriological outcome ofsubclinical mastitis treated with intramammary nps.

Relationship between in vitro susceptibility of bovine subclinical mastitis isolates and bacteriological outcome of intramammary treatment with cefquinome

The objective of the present study was to determine whether there was an association between the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility test results of subclinical mastitis pathogens and bacteriological outcomes of intramammary treatments using cefquinome. A total of 110 intramammary pathogens from 51 cows were assessed in this study. Most intramammary infections were due to coagulase-negative s...

Therapeutic effects of a combined antibiotic-enzyme treatment on subclinical mastitis in lactating dairy cows

The objective of this study was to evaluate a combined antibiotic-enzyme therapy for Staphylococcus aureus mastitis and biofilm formation. A total of 141 cases of S. aureus chronic mastitis from three farms were divided into two groups: the control group (n = 54) were treated with Nafpenzal® ointment; the enzyme + antibiotic group (n = 87) were treated with Nafpenzal® plus an enzymatic ointment...

Conventional and extended intramammary therapy of persistent subclinical mastitis using nafcillin-penicillindihydrostreptomycin in lactating dairy cattle

The objective of the present study was to compare the efficacy of conventional and extendedintramammary (IMM) therapy of persistent subclinical mastitis in lactating dairy cattle using nafcillinpenicillin-dihydrostreptomycin combination (NPD). Sixty-five dairy cows with 126 infected quarters were enrolled in the study. Infected cows were allocated randomly to 1 of 3 different treatment regimens...

Study of the relationship between oxidative stress and subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle

Subclinical mastitis is considered as one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy cows, causing drasticloss in the dairy industry. Oxidative stress, induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS), is believed to be aprimary factor in various cattle diseases including mastitis, but there are few studies regarding the role ofROS in subclinical mastitis. This study was undertaken to i) study the changes...
