Disinfection of Mycotic Species Isolated from Cases of Bovine Mastitis Showing Antifungal Resistance

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Fungal disease has emerged as a major medical problem with resistance to the four classes of antifungal agents a common factor promoting fungal virulence. Mycotic infection has a high mortality rate in immunocompromised persons as prolonged aggressive colonisation occurs. As such the medical and veterinary importance of recalcitrant fungal disease is undeniable. Studies described herein detail fungal species associated with bovine mastitis, resistance levels and investigate biocidal control options for use in situ. Effective biocidal options for prophylactic disinfection are suggested to limit fungal transmission with the overall aim of protecting animal health and the food chain.
