Mastitis Partial Panel Without ß-lactamase Penicillin-Resistance Profile PCR Test

Mastitis is a common infection that affects cows and other livestock. It is caused by bacteria that enter the cow's udder through the teat canal. Mastitis can cause significant economic losses for farmers due to decreased milk production and increased treatment costs. Early and accurate diagnosis of mastitis is essential to prevent further spread of the infection and to ensure the well-being of the animals.

DNA Labs India offers a Mastitis Partial Panel Without ß-lactamase Penicillin-Resistance Profile PCR Test to help diagnose mastitis in cows. This test uses a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique to detect the presence of bacterial DNA in milk samples. The test can detect the presence of eight different bacterial species that are commonly associated with mastitis, including:

• Staphylococcus aureus
• Streptococcus agalactiae
• Streptococcus uberis
• Escherichia coli
• Klebsiella pneumoniae
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Enterobacter spp.
• Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS)

The Mastitis Partial Panel Without ß-lactamase Penicillin-Resistance Profile PCR Test also includes a penicillin-resistance profile for Staphylococcus aureus. This is important because Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common bacterial species associated with mastitis, and some strains of this bacteria are resistant to penicillin antibiotics.

Test Cost

The Mastitis Partial Panel Without ß-lactamase Penicillin-Resistance Profile PCR Test is available at DNA Labs India for INR 6000.

Symptoms

The symptoms of mastitis in cows can vary depending on the severity of the infection. Some common symptoms include:

• Swelling and redness in the udder
• Heat in the udder
• Pain and discomfort in the udder
• Changes in milk production or quality
• Fever and lethargy

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of mastitis in cows typically involves a combination of physical examination, milk sampling, and laboratory testing. The Mastitis Partial Panel Without ß-lactamase Penicillin-Resistance Profile PCR Test offered by DNA Labs India can help to confirm the presence of bacterial infection and identify the specific bacterial species involved. This information can help to guide treatment decisions and prevent the spread of infection to other animals.
