Prevalence of coagulase-positive staphylococci, other than Staphylococcus aureus, in bovine mastitis

Abstract

Coagulase-positive S hyicus appears capable of inducing chronic, low-grade IMI. Staphylococcus intermedius does not appear to be an important mastitis pathogen. The TC test is not valid to use as the sole method to differentiate CPS species.
