The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of subclinical intramammary infection (IMI)
caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) as a group and by specific CNS species …

Persistence of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) in intramammary infections during
lactation was studied in a research dairy herd of University of Helsinki. Milk samples from …

Isolates of various species of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) from extramammary
swab samples were compared with isolates of bovine mastitis CNS species. Swab samples …

Intramammary infections (IMI) in recently calved dairy heifers are more common than was
