Bovine mastitis due to multidrug resistant Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS)

Abstract

Infections that cause bovine intramammary (mastitis) pose a serious risk to the health of the animal, diminishing its hygienic value, altering its processing characteristics, altering the composition of milk, and causing dairy farmers to suffer large financial losses. A clinical sample from an infected animal receiving treatment at TVCC, Mannuthy, Thrissur, was used to investigate the study. The current study's main goal is to isolate and identify the Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). Tests for sugar fermentation, biochemical analysis, and culture all support the presence of Staphylococcus. It was discovered that the results from several antibiotics like Methicillin, Amoxicillin and Penicillin were resistant and widely used in clinics, mainly for the treatment of highly infectious diseases caused by Gram-positive microorganisms.
