Abstract
Mastitis is defined as inflammation of the mammary gland and is considered an infectious
disease of dairy cows with the greatest economic impact on global dairy farming. There are
different control measures for this problem, but currently the intramammary application of
antibiotics is the most widely used measure to prevent and treat the problem, which leads to their
indiscriminate use. However, the main drawback of using antibiotics is that favors the selection
of resistant strains in the microbial population, negatively influencing the treatment of the disease.
One of the biggest challenges in the dairy industry is to reduce the use of antibiotics in animals
that produce food for human consumption
