BIOFILM FORMATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE PATTERNS OF STREPTOCOCCUS UBERIS SPECIES.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to human and veterinary medicine. Often it is not known to which antimicrobials specific mastitis-causing pathogens such as Streptococcus uberis are resistant or to which new antimicrobials they are sensitive to. A complicating factor is that one of the resistance strategies of many pathogens which makes it more difficult to treat than their planktonic counterparts, is biofilm formation. A further complicating issue is that virulence factors of Str.
