“…Usually the episodes had been clinically rather mild and of short duration. They had thus a great resemblance to experimental sawdust mastitis and to the experimental Serratia-mastitis produced by Barnum et al (1958) and Nicholls & Barton (1981) as well. No tendency was traced to changes in their clinical appearance over time and there was no inflammatory drying-off of single quarters in the 34 cows, quarter milk samples of which had been examined once or more in the laboratory.…”

“…Intra-mammary liquid neomycin has been used to cure experimentally infected S. marcescens quarters [40]. Positive treatment response with intra-mammary neomycin was also documented in a cluster of S. liquefaciens mastitis cases in one farm [41]. Acquired resistance is also common in this species although S. marcescens isolates of this study were susceptible to tested agents except for cefpodoxime (Fig.…”

BackgroundInfection with Serratia spp. have been associated with mastitis outbreaks in dairy cattle herds. Environmental contamination or a point source, like a teat dip product, have often been observed to be potential sources of such outbreaks. We describe two Serratia marcescens associated mastitis outbreaks associated with a contaminated teat dip containing a tertiary alkyl amine, n,n-bis (3-aminopropyl) dodecylamine in two dairy cattle farms in Finland. S. marcescens strains isolated from milk and environmental samples were identified by the MALDI-TOF method.ResultsSix specimens (n = 19) on Herd 1 and all specimens (n = 9) on Herd 2 were positive for S. marcescens. Positive specimens were from mastitis milk and teat dip liquid and equipment. Bacteria were not isolated from the unopened teat dip canister. The same clone of S. marcescens was isolated from milk samples and teat dip samples within the farms. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis results to the S. marcescens isolates from these two different herds were tested with unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic average clustering analysis. The isolates were not same clone in both herds, because similarity in that test was only 75% when cut-off value to similarity is 85%.ConclusionsOur investigation showed that the post milking teat dip and/or temporary containers were contaminated with S. marcescens and these were most likely the sources for new mastitis cases. The negative result from the unopened teat dip canister and positive results from refillable containers demonstrated that the product itself was not contaminated with S. marcescens at the production unit, but became contaminated at the farm level.

“…In addition to these, there are also studies that indicate natural infection and disease caused by the genus Serratia in other species, namely: birds (MÜLLER et al, 1986;POETA et al, 2016;KASHASH et al, 2022), cats (HOHENHAUS et al, 1997KELLY et al, 2015;GUYONNET et al, 2019), dogs (FRANKE;Richert, 1944;Wilkins, 1973;PLAVEC et al, 2008;PEREZ et al, 2011;COALL et al, 2022;FRANCHINI et al, 2022), cattle (BARNUM et al, 1958Nicholls et al, 1981;ISAKSSON;Holmberg, 1984;BOWMAN et al, 1986;WILSON et al , 1990;Todhunter et al, 1991;RUEGG et al, 1992;Kamarudin et al, 1996;DI GUARDO et al, 1997;Schukken et al, 2012;FRIMAN et al, 2019), mollusks (MÜLLER et al, 1995), turtles (HALL et al, 2022 and other reptiles, amphibians and fish (CLAUSEN; DURAN-REYNALS, 1937).…”

Bacterial endophthalmitis is a rare inflammation (TANAKA, 2019) that causes destruction and necrosis (TANAKA et al., 2011) of the structural components of the eyeball, through the penetration of infectious agents (JAIN et al., 2009; TIECCO et al., 2022) for the posterior segment of the eye, especially after intraocular surgeries (CARVALHO et al., 2021), traumas and systemic diseases (DURAND, 2017; TRAD et al., 2018; PUJARI et al., 2022), leading to vision loss (COELHO et al., 2015) and in more severe cases, enucleation (JACKSON, T. L. et al., 2014; JACKSON, TIMOTHY L. et al., 2014).
