Abstract
SUMMARY: During an outbreak of mastitis due toStreptococcus uberisthe organism was frequently isolated from samples of straw bedding used by the cattle. More than one millionStr. uberis/g straw were isolated from 36% of samples. The organism was also recovered from 34% of samples of bovine faeces, but usually in low numbers. An examination of straw samples collected from cattle yards on 32 other dairy farms demonstrated that this was not an isolated occurrence sinceStr. uberiswas found in 24% of samples from 56% of the herds. No correlation was found between counts ofStr. uberisand coliforms. The significance of these observations is discussed.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
