BACKGROUND Mycoplasma mastitis is increasingly posing significant impact on dairy industry. Although the effects of major conventional mastitis pathogens on milk components has been widely addressed in the literature, limited data on the effects of different Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma spp. on milk quality and quantity is available. The aim of this study was to determine the casual relationship...

The objective of this study was to estimate heritabilities for and genetic correlations among different pathogen-specific mastitis traits. The traits were unspecific mastitis, which is all mastitis treatments regardless of the causative pathogen as well as mastitis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Escherichia coli, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), Staphylococcus aureus and Streptoco...

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a rare chronic inflammatory breast condition with unknown etiology. There is still no generally accepted optimal treatment for GM. Corticosteroid treatment and/or wide excision is most commonly reported in the literature. Incision and drainage or limited excision alone has little benefit because of a strong tendency of recurrence. Corticosteroids also have a high ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to identify potential predisposing factors associated with human infectious mastitis. METHODS We conducted a case-control study among breastfeeding women, with 368 cases (women with mastitis) and 148 controls. Data were collected by a questionnaire designed to obtain retrospective information about several factors related to medical history of mother a...

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a relatively rare chronic inflammatory breast disease often mistaken for more common breast disorders, breast abscess or infectious mastitis, and can mimic inflammatory breast cancer.1,2 Since it was first described in 1972 by Kessler and Wolloch3, there have been only 541 cases reported worldwide as shown in a 2011 review article.4 Most patients are women o...

The primary objective of this study was to determine the aetiology of bovine mastitis in ten herds of Holstein Friesian cow in Jordan, the prevalence of mastitis pathogens in dairy cows and their resistance to selected antimicrobial agents. Milk samples were collected from 220 lactating cows to determine the clinical and subclinical mastitis by white side test and confirmed by cultural tests. I...

mastitis in cattle is a serious problem which causes considerable economic losses in the dairy cattle herds. the aim of this survey was to identify mycoflorain milk of healthy, clinical and subclinical mastitis of lactating holstein dairy cows. milk samples of 154 holstein dairy cows were collected from 10 dairy cattle herds in suburb of mashhad-iran. the treatment groups included 104 lactating...

These effects occur in cows with mild and moderate mastitis as well as those with severe mastitis; in cows with Gram negative pathogens (e.g. E. coli) and Gram positive ones (e.g. Staph. aureus); in cows which get mastitis before breeding and in cows which get mastitis afterwards. In fact for the last comparison, some studies have shown that cows which get mastitis after they have been bred for...
