    Review on Biofilm Forming Microbials in Cases of Bovine Mastitis and its Impact on Treatment
    Author(s): Darge Lulu Hordofa*

    Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that are attached to a surface and play a significant role in the persistence of bacterial infections in both animals and humans. Biofilm bacteria are highly resistant to antimicrobial agents and host immune responses resulting in chronic infection of bovine mastitis. Biofilm formation is an important virulence factor that may result in recurrent or persistent udder infections and treatment failure through increased resistance to antibiotics and protection against host defenses. There is paucity of information regarding biofilm bacteria in bovine mastitis of veterinary importance and their role in disease pathogenesis. Bovine mastitis is an inflammation of the udder and represents one of the most difficult dairy diseases to control. Biofilm formation is considered a selective advantage for pathogens causing mastitis, f.. Read More»
