BACTERIOLOGY OF MASTITIC MILK AND IN VITRO ANTIBIOGRAM OF THE ISOLATES
Mastitis is one of the most costly diseases of lactating animals. Bacteria constitute the common etiological agents of mastitis. In the present study, bacteria associated with mastitis were investigated and their susceptibility to various antibiotics was tested. Milk samples collected from differ...
