| molecular epidemiology of two klebsiella pneumoniae mastitis outbreaks on a dairy farm in new york state. | klebsiella spp. have become an important cause of clinical mastitis in dairy cows in new york state. we describe the occurrence of two klebsiella mastitis outbreaks on a single dairy farm. klebsiella isolates from milk, feces, and environmental sources were compared using random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd)-pcr typing. the first mastitis outbreak was caused by a single strain of klebsiella pneumoniae, rapd type a, which was detected in milk from eight cows. rapd type a was also isolated from ... | 2007 | 17928424 |
| sources of klebsiella and raoultella species on dairy farms: be careful where you walk. | klebsiella spp. are a common cause of mastitis, milk loss, and culling on dairy farms. control of klebsiella mastitis is largely based on prevention of exposure of the udder to the pathogen. to identify critical control points for mastitis prevention, potential klebsiella sources and transmission cycles in the farm environment were investigated, including oro-fecal transmission, transmission via the indoor environment, and transmission via the outdoor environment. a total of 305 samples was coll ... | 2011 | 21257074 |
