Diversity of Streptococcus spp. and genomic characteristics of Streptococcus uberis isolated from clinical mastitis of cattle in Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Streptococci are the major etiology in mastitis in dairy cattle, a cause of huge economic losses in the dairy industries. This study was aimed to determine the diversity of Streptococcus spp. isolated from clinical mastitis of cattle reared in Bangladesh.

Methods
