Prevalence of Mastitis Pathogens and Their Resistance Against Antimicrobial Agents in Awassi Sheep in Al-Balqa Province of Jordan

Abstract: The primary objective of this study was to establish data on mastitis in Awassi Sheep in Al-Balqa Province of Jordan. Milk samples were collected from 260 lactating ewes that selected randomly from eight flocks. California Mastitis Test (CMT) gave result with 220 milk samples; 122 samples (55.5%) showed positive CMT. Infection with some bacterial species was associated with positive CMT. About 26% of the ewes revealed clinical signs of mastitis. The highest percentage of bacterial count, which range from 3×10 … Show more

“…Contamination of the udder by faecal materials could have led to the presence of the organism in the milk. Isolation of E. coli in this study agrees with the findings of Islam et al, (2011), Hawari et al, (2014 and Mbindyo et al (2014).…”

“…At the start and end of the lactation season we confirmed predominantly subclinical forms in both herds. The economic losses are more associated with subclinical mastitis which is 40 % more prevalent than clinical mastitis [6]. [9,21].…”

“…Pathogenesis of P. multocida is a complex interaction between host specific factors and specific bacterial virulence factors; therefore, understanding the disease pathogenesis is complex and depends on the bacterial strain, the animal model and their interactions (Hawari et al, 2014). There are several disease models of infection with P. multocida using mice and show the suitability of mice to study the pathogenesis of P. multocida to produce HS with same symptoms and lesion in cattle and water buffalo (Affandi et al, 2012;Jamal et al, 2013;Faez et al, 2013).…”
