The elimination in cow's milk of polypeptidic antibiotic residues (colistin sulfate, colistin methanesulfonate and bacitracin) was investigated following intramuscular and intramammary administrations of eight drugs marketed in France. The quantitative analysis was performed according to the microbiological method of agar diffusion. The mean elimination periods lasted between three and six milkings for injected preparations, between four and six milkings for intramammary ones. These results were used as a basis to determine the withdrawal times required on these drugs. The problem of the diffusion of the residues into milk from a quarter treated by the intramammary route, to the untreated quarters was also addressed.

Mastitis is a major issue for the dairy industry. Despite multiple attempts, the efficacy of available mastitis vaccines is limited and this has been attributed to their incapacity to trigger robust cell-mediated immunity. Yeasts have recently been identified as promising antigen vectors capable of inducing T-cell responses, surpassing the antibody-biased mechanisms elicited by conventional adjuvanted vaccines.

Globally, Mastitis is a disease commonly affecting dairy cattle which leads to the use of antimicrobials. The majority of mastitis etiological agents are bacterial pathogens and Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant causative agent. Antimicrobial treatment is administered mainly via intramammary and intramuscular routes.

Bovine mastitis is one of the most important diseases in modern dairy farming, as it leads to reduced welfare and milk production and increased need for antibiotic use. Clinical mastitis in Denmark is most often treated with a combination of local and systemic treatment with penicillin. The objective of this randomized clinical trial was to assess whether worse results could be expected with local intramammary treatment with penicillin compared with a combination of local and systemic treatment with penicillin in terms of the bacteriological cure of mild and moderate clinical mastitis cases caused by gram-positive bacteria.

Objectives: The genus Streptococcus contains species of important zoonotic pathogens such as those that cause bovine mastitis. Unfortunately, many Streptococcus species have developed antibiotic resistance. Phage lysins are considered promising alternatives to antibiotics because it is difficult for bacteria to develop lysin resistance.

The objectives of the work were (a) to compare the efficacy of two routes for antibiotic administration in the treatment of mastitis in ewes and (b) to assess the potential importance of the timing of the initiation of the therapeutic regime on the outcome of the treatment. The ewes were allocated at random into three equal groups; intramammary inoculation with a isolate was performed, and clinical mastitis developed. The ewes in groups T1 ( = 6) and T2 ( = 6) were treated by the intramammary administration of ampicillin and dicloxacillin (two administrations with a 12-h interval).
