Abstract

The most problem affecting dairy cows, causing considerable financial losses, is udder inflammation. It is regarded as the most crucial and costly disease impacting the dairy industry, lowering the quality and quantity of milk. The rise of bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics makes it difficult to treat cow mastitis. An emerging problem is the rise in antibiotic resistance in various bacterial pathogens. Antimicrobial resistance is an escalating danger as new and emerging resistance mechanisms are surfacing and disseminating worldwide. Antibiotic susceptibility is a crucial instrument in managing bovine mastitis. Bovine mastitis was commonly managed with various commercial antibiotics; the regular application of antibiotics has occasionally been unsuitable for an extended period. This review outlines the antimicrobial resistance responsible for bovine mastitis, with particular emphasis on Egypt. Genetic factors identified globally in Staphylococcus spp., E. coli, and Klebsiella.
