The innate immune response of milk somatic cells in cows to Streptococcus dysgalactiae ssp. dysgalactiae was investigated by deliberate intramammary challenge. Cows were challenged with 2,500 colony-forming units of Strep. dysgalactiae DPC 5435, previously isolated from a clinical mastitis case. Eight of the 9 cows treated showed clinical signs of mastitis (swollen udders, increased somatic cell score, and...
