The quality and technological parameters of milk obtained from dairy cows with subclinical mastitis.

Mastitis is one of the most common diseases in dairy cattle. It significantly reduces milk quality and yield, thus incurring economic losses for farmers. This study investigates the impact of various bacterial pathogens on the somatic cell count, milk composition, and technological properties of milk samples from 302 clinically healthy Polish Holstein-Friesian cows kept under intensive rearing conditions.

Genetic diversity and virulence properties of caprine Trueperella pyogenes isolates.

Background: Trueperella pyogenes is an opportunistic pathogen that causes suppurative infections in various animal species, including goats. So far, only limited knowledge of phenotypic and genotypic properties of T. pyogenes isolates from goats has been gathered.

Virulence and host specificity of staphylococci from Staphylococcus intermedius group of pigeon origin with an emphasis on Staphylococcus intermedius.

The Staphylococcus intermedius group (SIG) includes coagulase-positive staphylococci commonly found in animals. The taxonomic classification within the SIG has evolved with molecular techniques distinguishing five species. Despite their similarities, these species exhibit varied host affinities, with unclear implications for virulence and host interaction.

Mycobacterium avium and Klebsiella pneumoniae co-infection in the domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) - Case Report.

. Pets infected with zoonotic pathogens might become a source of infections for their owners, especially those who are immuno-compromised. The aim of this report is to describe a case of chronic, untreatable pneumonia in a domestic ferret.

In vitro activity of selected antimicrobials against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius of canine origin in Poland.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is an important veterinary pathogen. In general, only a few antimicrobials show in vitro activity against MRSP isolates.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the in vitro activity of selected antimicrobials, including last-choice drugs, against clinical MRSP isolates of canine origin.
