Abstract
Mastitis is probably the most important disease affecting dairy cows worldwide and has been estimated to cost $1.5 to 2.0 billion/year in the United States alone (4). Although detection methodology continues to improve, microbiological culture is still the recommended method (2) for determining the bacterial content of a milk sample, despite this procedure being both time-consuming and expensive. Consequently, more rapid methods of identification and/or enumeration of bacteria in milk are being developed (3, 5). Many of these techniques, e.g., PCR-based methods, can be completed in a matter of hours, but they lack the specificity to be able to determine the bacterial species present or are unable to enumerate the bacteria present. There can also be a problem with techniques that require a period of enrichment prior to analysis.
