Epidemiological investigation finds pathogenic bacteria in dairy cows with mastitis, indicating control strategies are needed.

To investigate pathogenic bacteria in buffalo with subclinical mastitis and their antibiotic resistance and virulence characteristics.
Analyzed 132 milk samples from buffalo with SCM across 3 farms in Guangxi, China.
Isolated 1659 bacterial strains classified into 46 genera and 183 species.
Identified 1058 bacterial strains as pathogenic bacteria of subclinical mastitis.
Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (55.30%) and Enterococcus faecalis (51.52%) were the most frequently isolated.
All pathogenic strains demonstrated multiple antibiotic resistance.
Escherichia coli showed the strongest virulence against Galleria mellonella.

Li et al. (2025) studied this question.
