| Popis: | In a mastitic event damage to the epithelial tissue of the mammary gland, and in particular an increase in paracellular permeability allows sodium to enter the milk from the blood (Schaar and Funke, 1986). Normally there is a stepwise gradient of declining sodium concentration from the interstitial fluid to the epithelial cells to the milk (Berga and Neville, 1985). Milk potassium content is reduced in milk of cows with mastitis, but the proportional change is less than that of sodium (Wegner and Stull, 1978). An experiment was conducted to investigate the response of three mastitis pathogens to the changes in sodium and potassium concentrations in their growth media that are typical of the changes occurring during a mastitic event. |
