Log
10
colony forming units/mL (CFU/mL) of
S. uberis
UT888. Twenty uninfected bovine mammary quarters were challenged with S. uberis UT888 opsonized with anti-rSUAM antibodies (
) or untreated S. uberis UT888 (
) and CFU/mL in milk of challenged quarters were obtained. Data are presented as log10 CFU/mL and are the mean of daily observations for the 1st week and at 10 and 14 days post-challenge for each treatment group. Error bars are the standard error of the mean (SEM). The dotted line box includes time points where differences between groups were statistically significant (P ≤ 0.05).
