Molecular prevalence and acute phase protein response of Staphylococcus aureus subclinial mastitis

Mastitis is one of the major causes of economic loss in dairy industry and mainly caused by a bacterial infection. The objectives of this study were to determine the molecular prevalence of S. aureus subclinical mastitis and to determine the acute phase response of haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyl...

520 |a Mastitis is one of the major causes of economic loss in dairy industry and mainly caused by a bacterial infection. The objectives of this study were to determine the molecular prevalence of S. aureus subclinical mastitis and to determine the acute phase response of haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA) and o l-acid glycoprotein (AGP) in serum and milk with relation to somatic cell count (SCC) during experimentally induced subclinical mastitis in goats. A total of 111 goats were screened for mastitis using the California Mastitis Test (CMT). Phenotypic identification of S. aureus was done. The genotypic identification was conducted by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to detect the nuc gene. Ten goats were included and divided into two group of five goats each. 1 ml inoculum containing 1.2 x 108 cfu of S. aureus was inoculated intracisternally into the mammary gland of five goats. The five other goats were infused with 1 ml of sterile phosphate- buffered saline to serve as a control. Serum and milk concentrations ofHp, SAA and AGP were evaluated pre- and post-inoculation (6, 24, 48 and 72 hours) using ELISA kits. The SCC was measured by direct microscopic method. The SCC was assessed by direct microscopic method. The prevalence of S. aureus subclinical mastitis was 42% (8/19). Serum and milk Hp concentrations increased significantly up to 72 hours compared to the control (P<0.05). The mean concentration ofHp was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the milk than the serum. Serum SAA elevated but significantly (P<0.05) at 6 hours only in infected group. Whereas, the concentration of SAA in milk of infected group was significantly increased (P<0.05) at 6, 24 and 72 hours than in controls. Serum AGP concentrations reached peak levels at 48 hours post inoculation. Milk AGP concentration was significantly increased at 24 hours (P<0.05) and remained significantly elevated until 72 hours compared to the control. A significant correlation between milk Hp concentration and SCC was observed (r= 0.56, P< 0.05). There were no associations between milk SAA and AGP concentrations with SCC. It can be concluded from this study that Hp is a more sensitive indicator for subclinical mastitis and maybe useful for early detection S. aureus subclinical mastitis.
