ABSTRACT

This study aimed to describe an outbreak of bovine mastitis caused by yeast in a dairy herd located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Microbiological analysis of milk samples (106) of the infected mammary quarters of lactating cows showed that Corynebacterium bovis (43.48%) and yeasts from the genus Candida (29.35%) were the main agents isolated in the herd. C. albicans(33.34%), C. catenulate (22.23%) and C. glabrata (18.52%) were the species most commonly isolated. The high prevalence of yeast mastitis was associated with lack of training formilkers, repetitive intramammary treatment and poor teat hygiene prior to the intramammary infusion. Appropriate management measures, specific treatment with antifungal drugs and removal of chronically infected animals were effective for the control of mastitis outbreak.


O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever um surto de mastite bovina causada por leveduras em um rebanho leiteiro localizado no Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Análises microbiológicas de amostras de leite (106) dos quartos mamários infectados de vacas em lactação demonstraram que Corynebacterium bovis (43,48%) e leveduras do gênero Candida (29,35%) foram os principais agentes isolados no rebanho. C. albicans (33,34%), C. catenulata (22,23%) e C. glabrata (18,52%) foram as espécies mais comumente isoladas. A elevada prevalência da mastite por leveduras foi associada à falta de treinamento dos ordenhadores, ao tratamento intramamário repetitivo e a falhas na higienização de tetas antes da infusão intramamária. Medidas adequadas de manejo, tratamento específico com drogas antifúngicas e descarte de animais cronicamente infectados foram eficazes para o controle do surto.
