Description
Swarnali Akter and a large team link farm hygiene practices with mastitis bacteria on smallholder dairy farms in Bangladesh in a 2026 study. Mastitis, an infection of the udder, is among the costliest diseases of dairy cows, cutting milk yield and quality. The team focused on Gram-negative bacteria, especially Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and on how resistant those bacteria are to drugs.
Survey and lab results showed Klebsiella in 27.7 percent of cases and E. coli in 20.9 percent across the farms studied. A large share of isolates resisted several drugs at once, with the strongest resistance against common drugs such as ampicillin and tetracycline. Farms scoring well on knowledge, hygiene, and safety surveys did not reliably show fewer of these bacteria. The authors say good scores on paper are not enough and call for checking what farms actually do day to day.
