Intralaboratory Validation of a Kinetic Turbidimetric Assay Based on Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) for Assessing Endotoxin Activity in Cow Milk

Abstract: Mastitis, one of the most common diseases in dairy cattle, causes severe losses in the dairy sector worldwide and affects animal welfare. The disease is characterized by an inflammatory reaction of the mammary gland and is mainly caused by bacterial infections, including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The release of endotoxins associated to bacterial lysis is a weighty factor in the clinical course of Gram-negative associated mastitis and should be taken into consideration when using antibiotic… Show more

“…This editorial highlights the study by Flórez et al [5] on the importance of rapidly quantifying endotoxins in raw milk samples for differentiating between Gram-positive and Gram-negative mastitis, aiding in their clinical management. Mastitis, a common disease in dairy cattle, results in significant losses in the dairy industry and affects animal welfare.…”

“…While the assay shows promise for diagnosing coliform mastitis, further research is required to assess its efficacy in other Gram-negative-associated mastitis cases and throughout the clinical course of these infections, including postantibiotic treatment. Overall, the developed assay by Flórez et al [5] offers a standard-ized method for detecting endotoxins in raw and commercial cow milk, potentially improving mastitis management in dairy cattle.…”
