A BROAD range of bacteria are responsible for mastitis in small ruminants, but Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are the most prevalent species (Las Heras and others 1999a). Of the Gram-negative bacteria, species such as Mannheimia haemolytica and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are also responsible for a significant proportion of cases of mastitis in dairy sheep (Lafi and others 1998, Scott and Jones 1998, Rapoport and others 1999). P aeruginosa represents less than 10 per cent of the isolates from subclinical mastitis (Lafi and others 1998), but it is responsible for outbreaks of clinical mastitis with significant sanitary and economic repercussions (Las Heras and others 1999b, Rapoport and others 1999).
