Streptococcus agalactiae virulence factors isolated from bovine mastitis and antibiotic treatment response.

Aims: This study aims to characterize the virulence factors of Streptococcus agalactiae strains isolated from bovine mastitis and their potential association with the antibiotic treatment response.

Methods And Results: Four different profiles were identified among the 181 S. agalactiae strains using polymerase chain reaction, of which hyl B and cylE were found in 100% of the isolated strains, followed by cfb (99.

Evaluation of three proteins involved in the adhesion process as antigens for the detection of bovine intramammary infections.

. Fast and accurate diagnosis is one of the key strategies in the successful control of intramammary infections caused by . Immunoassays are one of the diagnostic tools that have been proposed for the detection of infection because they offer an advantage in terms of cost and are fast and easy to use compared to other diagnostic tests.

High genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of Staphylococcus aureus strains recovered from bovine intramammary infections in Colombians dairy herds.

Genotyping of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from mastitis has become a fundamental tool to understand its complex epidemiology and to evaluate spillover events. The aim of this study was to describe the frequency of genotypes of the S. aureus strains isolated from intramammary infections by spa typing technique, and to evaluate the association between genotypes and the ability to form biofilm under in vitro conditions.

Cluster analysis of Canadian Armed Forces veterans living with chronic pain: Life After Service Studies 2016.

: This study explored the heterogeneity of Canadian Armed Forces veterans living with chronic pain to inform service needs planning and research using cluster analysis. : We used a national cross-sectional Statistics Canada population survey. : Participants included 2754 Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Regular Force veterans released from service between 1998 and 2015 and surveyed in 2016.

Postpartum uterine diseases negatively impact the time to pregnancy in grazing dairy cows from high-altitude tropical herds.

Infertility is a common consequence of cows suffering from postpartum uterine diseases. Diseases from a uterine origin in early lactation affect both uterine and ovarian tissues decreasing the probability of pregnancy. The objective of the present study was to determine the impact of clinical metritis, clinical endometritis, and subclinical endometritis on days open in cows from high-altitude tropical dairy herds.
