  • Title: Relationships between teat-end bacteria and intramammary infections.
    Author: Zarkower A, Scheuchenzuber WJ.
    Journal: Cornell Vet; 1978 Jan; 68(1):40-50. PubMed ID: 618714.
    Abstract:
    Teat-end populations of staphylococci and streptococci were studied on teat apices of an experimental herd. Individual cows were found to have higher numbers of some of these microorganisms than other cows and certain teats had consistently higher populations than other teats in the same individual. A positive relationship was found between the numbers of staphylococci on teat-ends and presence of intramammary infections of the quarters. High teat-end bacterial numbers were present prior to the laboratory recognition of intramammary infections.
