| Abstract: | Abstract Extract Both Candida albicans and C. tropicalis have been implicated in cases of bovine mastitis following udder infusion with antibiotics (Loken et al., 1959 Loken, K. I., Thompson, E. S., Hoyt, H. H. and Ball, R. A. 1959. J. Amer. vet. med. Ass., 134: 401–401. Google Scholar]). In some cases (Tucker, 1954 Tucker, E. W. 1954. Cornell Vet., 44: 79–79. Google Scholar]), contamination of the diluting fluid and teats with yeasts from the operator has been given as the cause, while in other cases (Stuart, 1951 Stuart, P. 1951. Vet. Rec., 63: 314–314. Google Scholar]; Hulse, 1952 Hulse, E. C. 1952. Vet. Rec., 64: 210–210. Google Scholar]), yeasts from brewer's grains on which the cows were feeding have been blamed. |
