Figure 1From: Local host response following an intramammary challenge with Staphylococcus fleurettii and different strains of Staphylococcus chromogenes in dairy heifers Average somatic cell count (SCC). The SCC is expressed as a natural logarithm (Ln SCC/µL) before and after intramammary challenge with Staphylococcus fleurettii, S. chromogenes TA (teat apex strain), S. chromogenes IM (intramammary strain) and phosphate-buffered saline (control). The error bars represent the standard error of the mean (+SEM).Back to article page
