The microbial factor is essential in the etiology of mastitis. In this regard, bacteriological diagnostics is one of the decisive moments in the recognition and differentiation of pathological conditions of the mammary gland. However, it takes a lot of time to make a diagnosis using general methods, special culture media and reagents.

Getting a culture herpesviridae antigens first and second types is possible using cell cultures inoculated epithelial pig testicles and tracheal calf respectively. The incubation herpesviridae first and second types should be conducted on the above lines in cell culture incubator at a temperature of 37,5 °C for up to 10 days. To maximize the release of virus from cell culture fluid viral after incubation need three frozen at temperatures from –18 °C to + 20 °C. The resulting liquid is purified viral the culture by centrifugation. Determining the infectious activity of the culture liquid viral performed in response hemagglutination of horse erythrocytes suspension, and the material is titrated to 1: 128 in the two recurrence. Accounting reaction was performed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours. Infectious material volumetric activity was 1:4. Getting antigens envisages concentrating liquid viral culture fluid by reverse dialysis. To do this, conducted a study to identify the optimal concentration of antigen suitable for setting reaction diffusion precipitation. At 1:10 antigen concentration result of different reactions, depending on the account of the diffusion precipitation reactions. When concentration of EHV–1 antigen was found that the optimum dilution for its RDP is 1:20. In assessing the EHV–2 antigen, found that suitable for setting reaction diffusion precipitation RDP is an antigen concentrated from 1:60 to 1:20. In practical terms, most rational use of antigen, concentrated 20 times.Keeping culture antigens can be conducted frozen at minus 18 ° C, for 12 months because after six months of storage of the frozen infectious activity was not decreased. And in research in 12 months noted a line of precipitation in native samples and serum diluted 1:2. Working antigens for diffuse precipitation reaction must be sterile on various forms of bacteria and fungi. Therefore, samples of viral antigens were plated on agar culture media for general purpose (plain agar), after having spent preserving antigen using 0.01% solution mertiolyatu rate of 0.1 sm3/1sm3 culture fluid. Using such an environment can detect material in the test organisms belonging to different morphological groups. Research sterility subjected to viral antigens, herpesviridae infection on the first type of herpesviridae infection and the second type.

Milk is the normal secretion of the mammary gland, practically free of colostrum and obtained by the complete milking of one or more healthy animals. Mastitis is an inflammatory process of the mammary gland and it may cause alterations in the milk. The present work aimed to verify whether it is possible, by means of the counts of microorganism in the bulk raw milk in four selective culture media, to establish a correlation with the occurrence of mastitis and therefore, to monitor this disease in bovine dairy herds. The following selective culture media were used: KF Streptococcus Agar, Edwards Agar, Baird-Parker Agar, Blood Agar plus potassium tellurite. Spearman's correlation coefficient was calculated in order to compare the occurrence of mastitis (percentage) in each herd with respective selective culture media counts of microorganisms in bulk raw milk. Thirty-six possibilities were analysed (Tamis and CMT-positive rates were compared with the log-transformed count in four selective culture media) and there was a negative correlation between Tamis 3 and the Baird-Parker Agar plate count. The total results of microbiological tests showed that there were three correlations of the counts in selective culture media. Fifty-two possibilities were analysed and there was a negative correlation between no-bacterial-growth mastitis rates and log10 of KF Streptoccocus Agar plate count and there were two positive correlations between coagulase-positive staphylococci and log10 of Baird-Parker Agar plate count and Blood Agar plus potassium tellurite plate count.

ABSTRACT Human, bovine and sheep (ovine) growth hormone (HGH, BGH and SGH) were heated in solution at temperatures between 60 and 100 °C. The electrophoretic mobility and immunological properties, such as precipitation reactions in agar gel and haemagglutination with antiserum to untreated hormone, were studied at different degrees of heating. It was found that heat progressively reduced the immunological properties of the growth hormone; however, human growth hormone was more resistant to heat treatment than the bovine and sheep growth hormone. HGH retained precipitation properties when heated at 100° C up to 30 minutes, and reacted in the haemagglutination test when heated at 100° C for less than 60 minutes. BGH and SGH clotted at 100° C. The precipitation reaction with antiserum to BGH disappeared when BGH or SGH was heated at 70° C for more than 10 minutes. Only a weak haemagglutination reaction was retained when BGH or SGH was heated at 80° C for 15 minutes.

Antigens present in poliovirus concentrates react with antibodies present in the serum of hyperimmunized monkeys to give type-specific precipitates. One or more bands of precipitate can be formed wherever such homotypic reactants, diffusing into an agar gel, meet in sufficient concentration and in equivalent proportions. No qualitative differences have been detected between the type-specific reactions given by different strains of the same virus type; and no precipitates have been seen which could be called "group-specific." Non-specific precipitates have occasionally been observed. Type-specific poliovirus precipitins are found in the serum of poliomyelitis patients. Their concentration has been measured by a standardized method. They tend to develop in parallel with neutralizing antibodies against the same virus type, increasing in amount during the first weeks of illness in those patients who show concurrent neutralizing antibody rises. The precipitation reaction has proved valuable in the antigenic analysis of polioviruses. Its general adoption as a diagnostic procedure is perhaps unlikely; but it may be well worth applying for special purposes.

The place of two serological techniques, the agar diffusion precipitation reaction and the complement fixation test in the classification of chromogenic acid-fast bacilli, is described. Both techniques reveal evidence of overlapping of antigens as between mycobacteria belonging to pathogenic and to saprophytic strains.

Bacterial biofilms are involved in the aggravation and recurrence of clinical mastitis in dairy herds. Several factors such as pH, temperature, concentration of O2 and glucose can affect their induction and growth rates. In this study, biofilm production was demonstrated by 27 Escherichia coli strains isolated from bovine mastitis at different pH values depending on the availability of glucose, mimicking conditions found in mammary glands affected by the disease. Biofilm formation was analyzed by spectrophotometric analysis in microtiter plate with 16 different culture media and by scanning electron microscopy. Biofilm formation was greater in isolates cultured under conditions associated with low glucose availability (0.5% or 1.5%) and with either an acidic (5.5) or alkaline (8.5) pH, compared to conditions associated with high glucose availability (2.5% or 3.5%) and near-neutral pH (6.5 or 7.5). Results indicate possible favoring of biofilm production in the later stages of the infectious process caused by E. coli, when the gland environment is less propitious to bacterial growth due to the stress conditions mentioned above; contrasting with the environment of the healthy mammary gland, in which there is no limitation on nutrients or conditions of particular alkalinity or acidity. Thus, knowledge of the stage in which is the infection and environmental conditions of the mammary gland that cause increased production of biofilms is of paramount importance to guide the most appropriate control strategies to prevent relapse after treatment of bovine mastitis, an economically important disease in dairy cattle worldwide.
