Molecular typing of Enterococcus spp. isolated from cow mastitis

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to the determine the presence of Enterococcus spp. in cow mastitis and to characterize the isolated strains using molecular techniques. A total of 75 Enterococcus spp. isolated from dairy farms in Ankara and Balıkesir cities were examined. Sixty-one Enterococcus faecium and 14 Enterococcus avium strains were identified according to Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism-Polymerase Chain Reaction results. Additionally different 10 and 7 Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA- Polymerase Chain Reaction profiles were detected in E. faecium and E. avium strains, respectively. These finding showed the importance and the role of Enterococcus spp. in cow mastitis
