Abstract
This paper reviews the microbial properties that underlie the virulence of coliform microorganisms causing bovine mastitis. The interaction between the coliform bacteria and teat‐duct defence, humoral defence and phagocytic cells is discussed. The functioning of these host‐defence mechanisms seems to exert a major role in the course of a coliform infection of the udder.Keywords
