TL;DR: Staphylococcus aureus and CNS were the most frequently isolated pathogens and resistance to antimicrobials was rare, according to a nationwide survey of cases of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows in Sweden.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of staphylococci in clinical and subclinical mastitis using material from two national surveys, and concluded that the distribution of Staphyloccus species differed between clinical and subsurface mastitis indicating inter-species variation of pathogenicity and epidemiology.

TL;DR: SCC measured with CMT or DCC can predict udder infection in goats, and CMT can be used as a predictor of the SCC.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the prevalence of SCM in Uganda is substantially higher than reported in previous studies and in other comparable developing countries, implying that SCM deserves more attention and that improvement in dairy cow husbandry in terms of hygiene and management is necessary.

TL;DR: Investigating calf and farm factors associated with antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli in the feces of preweaned dairy calves in Sweden found the prevalence of resistance was lower for older calves and calves on small farms and an interaction was found between feeding milk from cows treated with antimicrobials and use of fluoroquinolones in cows.
