Abstract excerpt
In order to evaluate the usefulness of some phenotypic and genotypic methods for species identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), isolates were obtained from bovine cases of clinical and sub-clinical mastitis from different geographical areas in Sweden. By using the Staph-Zym test, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and sequencing of part of the CNS tuf gene and, when needed, part of the 16S...
