AII samples (100%) were positive for at least one bacteria. Staph/ycoccus aureus, Escherichia coli, Coagulase Negative Staph/yococci (CNS) and coliforms were detected in 20%, 52%, 95% and 25% of samples respectively. Results for each specific are showed in figures 2.

The aim of this study was to check for prevalent pathogens all over South Korean dairy farms using PCR diagnostic tool (STARTCHECK®) which was provided by HIPRA and also to show that STARTCHECK® can be used to complement Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and bacteria! culture to monitor mastitis at a herd level1 by detecting the major mastitis causative agents (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CNS) and coliform bacteria.
