During a 3-year period strains of Group-B streptococci from 1227 (94.6 %) of a total of 1297 cases of bovine mastitis were serologically typed. Twenty-seven different antigenic combinations were found. Ab. 70 % of the strains carried polysaccharide antigens among which Type III was predominant (57 % The protein antigen X was widespread (62 %), and 5 % of the strains were non-type able. Type Ic predominated among “false positive” bulk milk isolates (52.2 %, 12/23), but was rarely isolated from quarter milk samples (3%). Variation in the antigenic structure of infecting strains occurred to some extent and involved at least 10.8 (132/1227) and probably 25.2 (132/523) of the strains. Within a herd the antigenic variation was limited, however. Hence a definition of a herd type was possible. During the period of investigation infections caused by Herd Type III decreased numerically while the number of herds infected by other types remained almost stable.
在3年期间,对1297例牛乳腺炎病例中1227例(94.6%)的B族链球菌菌株进行了血清学分型。发现了27种不同的抗原组合。约70%的菌株携带多糖抗原,其中III型占主导(57%)。蛋白抗原X广泛存在(62%),5%的菌株无法分型。Ic型在“假阳性”混合奶分离株中占主导(52.2%,12/23),但很少从乳区奶样中分离到(3%)。感染菌株的抗原结构在一定程度上发生了变化,至少涉及10.8%(132/1227)且可能25.2%(132/523)的菌株。然而,在一个牛群中抗原变异是有限的。因此,可以定义牛群型。在调查期间,III型牛群引起的感染数量减少,而其他类型感染的牛群数量几乎保持稳定。
