【 摘 要 】
Aim: The study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical pathogens isolated from Bovine Mastitis in and around Coimbatore District, Tamilnadu, South India. Materials and Methods: A total of 250 milk samples were screened and 152 isolates of Staphylococci were obtained and their susceptibility to several antimicrobial agents by agar disc diffusion method. Results: Out of 152 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus resistance was detected in 63 (41.44%), 39 (25.65%), 21(13.81%), 18 (11.84%), 6 (3.94%) and 5 (3.28%) isolates for penicillin, streptomycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, ampicillin and Cephalothin, respectively. No resistance was detected for Gentamicin. Conclusion: Results indicated that these isolates exhibited the highest degree of resistance to penicillin of all antimicrobial agents tested. [Vet.
