Research Area:

Research in this laboratory is focused on improving the quality of milk from ruminant species. This includes investigating the pathophysiology and epidemiology of mastitis as well as the detection and mitigation of antimicrobial residues in milk. Current mastitis research includes an epidemiological study of Staphylococcus aureus mastitis using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, herd data analysis, and antibiotic susceptibilities. A study of a combined therapy-vaccination strategy to control and prevent Staphylococcus aureus mastitis is also ongoing. Current antimicrobial residue studies utilize a microbial receptor assay, HPLC, and other detection methods to measure residues and investigate alternative dispositions of antibiotic contaminated milk. The disposition of beta-lactam antibiotics in calves fed antibiotic-contaminated milk has been investigated as well as methods to neutralize antibiotics in milk. Beta lactam and tetracycline residues in milk after administration by several routes have been investigated using microbial receptor assays and HPLC. Additional interests focus on small ruminant and cattle health.
