In vitro capsule or biofilm formation of Streptococcus uberis and bacteriological cure of bovine mastitis.

Objective: The relationship between the detected virulence factors biofilm and capsule formation of isolates of clinical mastitis in dairy cows and the bacteriological cure rate after antibiotic therapy was investigated in order to better understand the importance of these virulence factors for the bacteriological cure rate.

Material And Methods: A total of 111 clinical mastitis (CM) cases were collected, in which was bacteriologically detected. All mastitis cases were treated in accordance with the approval conditions of the antibiotic udder tubes used.
