| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> This study was aimed to identify of catalase negative
Gram positive cocci (CNGP) isolated from milk samples of dairy
cows with subclinical mastitis and to determine susceptibility
of microorganisms to antibiotics.<p>
<b>Materials and Method:</b> Totally, 104 CNGP cocci were isolated
from dairy cows with subclinical mastitis. Isolates were
selected according to coloni morphological and haemolysis
properties and were identified by VITEC 2.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Out of isolates, 32 (30.76%) were identified as Enterococcus
faecalis, 21 (20.19%) Aerococcus viridans, 18
(17.30%) E. faecium, 13 (12.50%) Streptococcus agalactiae,
11 (10.57%) S. uberis, 3 (2.88%) Lactococcus garviae/lactis
ssp. lactis, 2 (1.92%) L. lactis ssp. latis and 1 (0.96%) L. garviae.
Three isolates (2.88%) could not be identified. The susceptibilities
of CNGP cocci were determined to be different to
antimicrobial agents.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> This study shown that identification of CNGP
cocci isolated from dairy cows with subclinical mastitis should
be performed accordingly. |
