摘要
The objective of this study was to report the frequency of intramammary infections by yeasts, in Minas Gerais State, from milk samples (n = 1710) collected in 40 dairy herds. Fifty six yeast strains of the genus Candida and one strain of Trichosporon loubieri were isolated. Candida albicans was the dominant species (28.1% of the strains), followed by Candida parapsilosis (19.3%), Candida catenulata (14.0%), Candida glabrata (14.0%), Candida tropicalis (8.8%). Mixed infections were detected in 29.8% of yeast-positive cows. The yeast infection was more frequent (84%) in cows with subclinical mastitis. The low rate of isolation of yeasts suggests that these microorganisms are not relevant to bovine mastitis in the studied region.
