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.
