Abstract

Mastitis is an important disease of small ruminants (SR) that results in substantial morbidity, mortality, and economic losses from treatment or loss of product. There is currently little in­formation on SR mastitis pathogens or antimicrobial sensitivity in U.S. populations. This study 1) identifies breed, age, produc­tion use and stage of lactation of SR diagnosed with mastitis at a veterinary teaching hospital (VTH); 2) characterizes bacterial species and antimicrobial sensitivity in SR mastitis; and 3) clas­sifies SR mastitis into peracute, acute, subclinical and chronic, and correlates with bacterial isolates.
