AbstractStreptococcusuberis is an important pathogen that has been implicated in bovine mastitis but the virulence factors associated with pathogenesis are not well understood. The aim of this work was to examine 11 putative and known virulence-associated genes by PCR in 78 S. uberis strains isolated from infected animals in Argentina. Additionally, the distribution of virulence patterns over various herds was determined. Not all genes were present in the strains but all of the detected virulence-associated genes were present in combination. Forty-seven (60.3%) isolates carried seven to 10 virulence-associated genes. Further analysis revealed 58 virulence patterns. Different patterns were found within the same herd and among herds, demonstrating that strains with different virulence patterns were able to cause mastitis. Despite the large number of strains with different virulence patterns, strains with identical patterns was found. Detection of virulence-associated genes in individual S. uberis strains isolated from infected animals revealed one to 10 virulence genes. This may indicate that other virulence factors could be involved. The present study reveals the occurrence and distribution of 11 virulence-associated genes among S. uberis isolates from bovine mastitis in various herds and contributes to a better understanding of the pathogenicity of this bacterium.
