Epidemiological Investigation on Pathogenic Bacteria of Buffalo Subclinical Mastitis and Their Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Characteristics in Guangxi, China.

ABSTRACT: Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is one of the most common and detrimental diseases affecting dairy cows, causing lower milk yield and quality. Identification of pathogenic bacteria of subclinical mastitis (PSM) in dairy cows is crucial for selecting suitable antibiotic treatments and implementing effective prophylactic measures. This paper highlights the first systematic study to investigate the PSM in buffalo farms in Guangxi, China. It also analyzes the antibiotic resistance and virulence characteristics of typical PSM. The bacteriological characteristics of 132 milk samples collected from buffaloes with SCM across 3 representative buffalo farms in Guangxi, China were investigated. A total of 1659 bacterial strains were isolated and classified into 46 genera and 183 species, where 1058 bacter
