Abstract
This study was carried out to isolate of causative agents from CMT-positive and mean somatic cell count(SCC) $\geq$500,000 cells/ml mastitic milk, and evaluate to antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates in Iksan branch area from January to November, 1996. 1. The CMT-positivity(SCC 500,000 cells/ml) of 610 heads was 36.2% (221), and of 2,373 quarter milks was 16.1% (383). 2. The Gram-positive isolates were 153 strains which was Staphylococcus sp (115), Micrococcus sp (18), Streptococcus sp (10), Listeria monocytogenes (5) and Enterococcus faecalis(5). 3. The Gram-negative isolates were 66 strains including E coli(14), Yersinia sp (13), Shigella sp(8), Enterobacillus sp(8), Cedecea sp(5), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(5), Proteus sp(5), Klebsiella sp(4), Salmonella sp(2), kluyvera ascorbate(1) and Tatumella ptyseos (1). 4. The Gram positive strains of isolates were moderately susceptible to T/s, Cp, Fd, Imp, Aug, Rif, Cft and Va. And the Gram negative strains of Isolates were moderately susceptible to T/s, Cp, Imp, Pi and Ti, In order. 5. Multiple antimicrobial resistant patterns were encountered 62 and 36 from Gram positive and negative isolates, respectively.
