Isolation of E. Coli from Bovine Mastitis and Their Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern

Mastitis is defined as an inflammatory reaction of the parenchyma of the mammary gland that can be of an infectious, traumatic or toxic nature. It is mainly caused by microorganisms usually gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, mycoplasmas, yeasts and algae (Zadoks et al., 2011). The multiplicity of the cause and emergence of resistance due to indiscriminate and prolonged use of antibiotics in absence of antibiogram is a major hurdle in the control of mastitis (Jeykumar et al., 2013).
