Abstract
Staphylococci are most significant among pathogen causing wide spectrum of
diseases in both human and animal beings. Mastitis a disease of cows & buffaloes
involved in severe economic losses to farmers & livestock owners world wide. The
disease primarily leading to inflammatory conditions of udder is manifested as acute,
sub acute or chronic form. The disease may have role of single or multiple
etiolological agents leading to inflammatory symptoms. Among various pathogens
involve in the disease S. aureus has been reported to be a prominent causal agents for
mastitis. Thus the present study was undertaken with a view to know preponderance
of Staphylococcus aureus in relation to bovine clinical and subclinical mastitis. The
objective were isolation, identification, cultural characterization, PCR & cultural
based detection of virulence associated character and in vitro antibiotic sensitivity
patterns of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical and subclinical cases of bovine
mastitis in and around Anand city of Gujarat.
