ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE OF MASTITIS CAUSING ORGANISMS

The dairy industry is a major consumer of antibiotics globally and mastitis is the most treated disease of dairy cows. In South Africa, producers have unrestricted access to 12 of 22 registered within-udder antibiotic products without prescription, whereas the remaining 10 registered products are restricted for veterinary use. It is conceivable that the antibiotics available without prescription may be used incorrectly and may contribute to the emergence and/or persistence of antibiotic-resistant strains.
