Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus dysgalactiae is a significant pathogen associated with bovine mastitis in lactating and nonlactating dairy cows, causing a severe inflammatory response of the mammary gland, which results in major economic losses to the dairy industry. Two proteins from S. dysgalactiae strain SDG8 were tested for their protective capacity against a homologous bacterial challenge in a dry cow model. The first was a...
