Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to determine the aetiology of bovine mastitis in ten herds of Holstein Friesian cow in Jordan, the prevalence of mastitis pathogens in dairy cows and their resistance to selected antimicrobial agents. Milk samples were collected from 220 lactating cows to determine the clinical and subclinical mastitis by white side test and confirmed by cultural tests. It was found that 138 quarters 15.7% had been diagnosed as clinical mastitis with definite gross pathological lesions and change in udder secretion, in addition to that 276 quarters 31.4% showed subclinical mastitis. The incidence of mastitis was found to be increased in older cows. Staphylococcus aurous was considered to be the most common cause of both clinical and subclinical mastitis and followed by coli forms, streptococcus spp., corynebacterium spp., proteus spp. and pseudomonas spp. Sensitivity tests was applied to different isolated strains using tertracycline, ampicillin, neomycin, erythromycin, penicillin G and sulphamethoxazol trimethoprim.

Molecular characterization of antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative bacteria isolated from bovine mastitis in Egypt.

TL;DR: The results identified class 2 integrons, qnr and aac(6)‐Ib‐cr from cases of mastitis for the first time, the first report of molecular characterization for antimicrobial resistance in Gram‐negative bacteria isolated from bovine mastitis in Africa.

Antibiotic resistance - an emerging health problem: causes, worries, challenges and solutions - a review

TL;DR: The present review discusses all aspects of antibiotic resistance, its challenges, detection, antibiotic residues, prevention and control measures along with current and future scenario at International level, which would be helpful for formulating strategies for safeguarding health of animals as well as humans.

Global and countrywide prevalence of subclinical and clinical mastitis in dairy cattle and buffaloes by systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculated subclinical mastitis (SCM) and clinical mastitis prevalence for various countries in the World were calculated by using online and offline databases, and the pooled prevalence of SCM and CM were 42% [Confidence Interval (CI) 38-45%, Prediction Interval(PI) 10-83%] and 15% [CI 12-19, PI 1-81%] in the world respectively, 45%[CI 40-49, PI 11-84%] and 18% [ CI 14-23, PI 3-60%]

Prevalence, risk factors and major bacterial causes of bovine mastitis in and around Wolaita Sodo, Southern Ethiopia

TL;DR: The study showed that mastitis is an important problem and a serious threat for dairy industry in the study area and appropriate control measures targeting the specific causative agents should be in place to reduce the impact of the disease.

Bovine mastitis in Finland 2001--prevalence, distribution of bacteria, and antimicrobial resistance.

TL;DR: The prevalence of mastitis continued to decrease in Finland, but the number of quarters with bacterial growth in 2001 increased significantly, and penicillin resistance among the staphylococci was still at a relatively high level in Finland.

Veterinary drug usage and antimicrobial resistance in bacteria of animal origin.

TL;DR: In the production of food animals, large amounts of antimicrobial agents are used for therapy and prophylaxis of bacterial infections and in feed to promote growth as discussed by the authors, which leaves room for considerable reductions in some countries.

Prevalence of mastitis pathogens and their resistance against antimicrobial agents in dairy cows in Brandenburg, Germany.

TL;DR: Assessment of management practices concerning mastitis in Brandenburg, Germany, the prevalence of mastitis pathogens in dairy cows, and their resistance to selected antimicrobial agents showed that cows with clinical mastitis were transferred to a sick cow pen in 70% of the herds.

Antimicrobial drug residues in milk and meat: causes, concerns, prevalence, regulations, tests, and test performance

TL;DR: A historical review of antimicrobial use in food animals, the causes of residues in meat and milk, the types of residues found, their regulation in Canada, tests used for their detection, and test performance parameters are presented, with an emphasis on immunoassay techniques.

Results of milk samples submitted for microbiological examination in Wisconsin from 1994 to 2001.

TL;DR: No growth and contaminated samples comprised almost 50% of total submissions, and it is important that producers have proper expectations when submitting milk samples, suggesting the proportion of contagious bacteria causing mastitis has decreased.
