Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli is a common cause of bovine mastitis, particularly around parturition and early lactation when the host is immunosuppressed. Isolates (n = 37) recovered from cases of clinical mastitis in Ireland were characterised with respect to genotypic diversity, phylogenetic group, virulence gene profile and antimicrobial susceptibility. The isolates were genotypically diverse, belonging to 19 different...
