Alteration of gene expression in mouse mammary tissue upon E. coli infection

ABSTRACT: Mastitis is a multietiological complex disease, which is defined as inflammation of parenchyma of mammary glands. Bacterial infection is the predominant cause of mastitis, though fungal, viral and mycoplasma infections also have been reported. Based on severity of the disease, mastitis can be classified into- subclinical, clinical and chronic forms. Bacterial pathogens from the fresh cow milk were isolated and classified by standard microbiological tests and multiplex PCR. Epidemiological studies have shown that Escherichia coli is the 2nd largest mastitic pathogen after Staphylococcus aureus in India. Based on Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC) -PCR profile and presence of virulence genes, a field isolate of E. coli was used for intramammary inoculation in lactating mi
