Description
Jing Liu and co-authors studied the microbes in cow milk in 2023 and how they shift as signs of udder infection rise. The sign they used is the somatic cell count, a standard gauge of mastitis, a costly udder disease. They sequenced a marker gene from milk samples across a range of counts. That let them compare which microbes live in the gland at each level.
Below a key count, the microbe mix stayed rich and balanced. Above it, variety fell and the mix tilted toward other groups. Some genera rose with the count and others fell. The authors suggest mastitis may stem not just from infection but from a disturbed microbe balance in the gland.
