Abstract
Summary The effect of teat damage on the incidence of mastitis in suckling and non-suckling mice in the presence and absence of a pathogenic staphylococcus was investigated. A combination of teat damage together with suckling (i.e. nursing offspring) resulted in mastitis. In the absence of a pathogenic staphylococcus the mammary glands were sterile but in the presence of a pathogenic staphylococcus large numbers of the pathogenic strain were recovered from the mammary glands.
