PRINT THIS PAGE

Below are results from bacterial cultures taken from Farmer Bo Vine's herd:

Bulk tank culture results :

Unremarkable - all counts acceptable; no unusual pathogens.

Clinical mastitis culture results :

Streptococcus uberis is consistently isolated.

Streptococcus uberis found in milk of the clinically infected cows is indicative of what type of mastitis ? Are there any characteristics of mastitis caused by Streptococcus uberis that give you a hint as to how this problem occurred?
