Detection kits for Streptococcus dysgalactiae Available in TaqMan format for analysis Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the utter is mainly caused by infection of various bacteria. Streptococcus dysgalactiae, a Lancefield group C α-hemolytic gram-positive bacteria, is a common pathogen in subclinical and clinical mastitis causing substantial economic losses in dairy herds. Streptococcus dysgalactiae has been isolated from infected mammary glands and teat injuries and is transmitted primarily during milking. However, detection of S. dysgalactiae in other cow tissues such as tonsils, mouth and vagina, and occurrence of S. dysgalactiae mastitis during the non-lactating period in herds, suggests that the organism also behaves as an environmental pathogen.
