Abstract

The significance of this study is that proteins associated with bacterial swimming and swarming are more highly expressed in the E. coli strains that cause persistent mastitis infections. These findings point to swimming and swarming as important mechanisms involved in how a pathogen establishes a persistent infection in the mammary gland. The role of swimming and swarming in clinical mastitis clearly requires further experimentation.
