A total of 65 milk samples from bovine clinical mastitis were collected from villages of Sabarkantha Milk Union and were subjected to bacterial isolation and identification. Out of 74 recovered isolates, Str. agalactiae was the most frequent, followed by E. coli and Str. dysgalactiae. The in-vitro antibiogram revealed that most isolates were sensitive to ceftriaxone/tazobactam, followed by gentamicin, tetracycline and cefoperazone/sulbactam. Ampicillin/cloxacillin combination was found least effective.
