Prac 1: Mastitis Diagnostics

Aims

This experiment aims to identify the species of bacteria present in a milk sample containing an organism that can cause sub-clinical mastitis.

The technique employs common bacteriological diagnostic procedures and relies on a key to identify the organism.

This process should assist in evaluating the pathogenicity of the bacteria and determining appropriate control and prevention measures to undertake.
