Summary. The pathogenicity of strains of yeasts and algae isolated from bovine mastitis secretions was evaluated in immunosuppressed mice. Strains of Candida tropicalis (n = 3) were the most pathogenic, but all strains of Geotrichum capitatum (n = 5) and the colourless alga Prototheca zopfii (n = 5) were also lethal to mice at the highest dose of 1 times 10 7 CFU per mouse. Reisolation of the inoculated micro‐organisms and the occurrence of histopathological lesions within organs of mice challenged with 1 times 10 3 to 1 times 10 7 CFU per animal revealed strains of C. krusei (n = 17), C. kefyr (n = 6) and C. rugosa (n = 6) to have a moderate pathogenicity, whereas strains of C. valida (n = 1) and C. catenulata (n = 2) were weakly pathogenic and non‐pathogenic respectively. Zusammenfassung. Die Pathogenität von Hefe‐ und Algen‐Isolaten aus Rindermastitis‐Sekreten wurde in immunsupprimierten Mäusen untersucht. Candida tropicalis ‐Stämme ( n = 3) zeigten die stärkste Pathogenität, aber auch Stämme von Geotrichum capitatum (n = 5) und der farblosen Alge Prototheca zopfii (n = 5) waren in der höchsten Inokulationsdosis von 1 times 10 7 CFU für Mäuse letal. Rückisolierungsversuche und histopathologische Läsionen an Organen von Mäusen, die mit 1 times 10 3 ‐1 times 10 7 CFU pro Tier inokuliert worden waren, belegten eine mäßige Pathogenität von C. krusei (n = 7), C. kefyr (n = 6) und C. rugosa (n = 6), während sich C. valida (n = 1) und C. catenulata (n = 2) nur als schwach oder nicht pathogen erwiesen.
