Abstract

Ten crossbred ewes showing typical clinical signs of gangrenous mastitis were subjected to clinical examination. The microorganisms isolated from the affected milk samples were Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus spp. The in vitro antibiogram of these microorganisms revealed highly susceptibility to amoxi-clavulanic acid, amoxicillin and sulbactum. Death occurred in 60% of the cases with permanent loss of affected udder.
