TI  - Pathogen isolation and antibiogram analysis in dairy cows with clinical mastitis in Adana region, Turkey
AB  - The goal of this study was to investigate pathogen types found in milk samples from cows with clinicalmastitis, as well as the sensitivity of isolated bacteria to different antibiotics. The study was carried out on 103 milksamples collected from dairy cows with clinical mastitis. Microbiological isolation and identification were performedto identify gram negative and gram positive bacteria, Mycoplasma bovis and fungi. Then, bacteria isolated frominfected milks were subjected to antibiogram, using 27 antimicrobials agents. As a result, a total of 146 isolates wereobtained from 103 milk samples. The predominant pathogen isolates recovered were fungi (21.9%), Escherichiacoli (19.9%) and Staphylococcus aureus (13.7%), followed by Mycoplasma bovis (8.2%) and Streptococcus uberis(6.8%). The mixed predominant pathogen was fungi, (75%) the majority of which mixed with gram positive bacteria.Ampicillin, Imipenem, Chloramphenicol and Streptomycin were the least effective antimicrobial agents, while themost effective agents were Florfenicol, followed by Amikacin and Kanamycin / Cefalexin. In conclusion, the typesof microorganisms that cause mastitis and the antibiogram results of the bacteria isolated varied. Above all, fungalmastitis is a severe problem that should always be considered prior to starting antibiotic treatment.
