Outbreak of subclinical mastitis in a flock of dairy goats associated with atypicalStaphylococcus haemolyticus

Abstract: Staphylococcus haemolyticus is a pathogen frequently isolated from dairy cows and small ruminants. However, it always appears in only a few animals and not as a major pathogen. Recently, in a dairy goat herd of approximately 250 milking animals, 25.6% (46/180 goats) had milk cultures with atypical highly mucoid colonies accompanied by elevated somatic cell counts. The isolates were identified as Staph. haemolyticus. The present study describes the steps used in an attempt to identify the bacterium and to compa… Show more

“…However, S. haemolyticus can be also an opportunistic pathogen and is the second most frequently encountered species of CNS in human clinical infections [ 13 ]. S. haemolyticus is a frequently isolated pathogen in dairy cows and small ruminants and can be sporadically involved in subclinical mastitis [ 14 ]. Less is known about the relation of this bacterium and other animal species.…”

“…Embora os SCN sejam considerados patógenos maiores da mastite em pequenos ruminantes, os mecanismos de patogenicidade nos quadros subclínicos da enfermidade ainda são desconhecidos (Contreras et al 2007). Recentemente, Leitner et al (2009) relataram a ocorrência de um surto de mastite subclínica por SCN atípico, enfatizando a necessidade do desenvolvimento de técni-cas moleculares para rápida identificação destes patóge-nos, objetivando facilitar o seu controle. O uso de técnicas moleculares para identificação de SCN é sugerido também por , visto que os métodos fenotípicos não são suficientemente confiáveis.…”
