[Pathogenic studies of Escherichia coli mastitis].
In this paper research about the pathogenesis of Escherichia coli mastitis, executed by the Department of Herd Health and Reproduction, is reviewed. The use of experimental infection models to study the systemic clinical symptoms of an Escherichia coli mastitis and the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs on this symptoms are described. Additionally, correlations between pre-infection in vitro leucocyte function tests and the severity of an Escherichia coli infection are discussed. Finally, some future developments and their possible applications are revealed.
