Quarter | ||
---|---|---|
Uninfected (n = 21) | Infected (n = 7) | |
S. aureus (log10 cfu/mL) | ND1 | 3.19 ± 0.17 |
Milk clot formation (number of quarters) | 0 | 7 |
PMNL (log10 count/mL) | 6.18 ± 0.04 | > 8.02 |
Elastase (units/mL) | ND | 0.58 ± 0.11 |
IL-8 (pg/mL) | ND | 1840 ± 581 |
22 and 23 kDa LDP (μg/mL) | 1.49 ± 0.39 | 35.7 ± 4.63 |
Lf (mg/mL) | 9.70 ± 0.23 | 3.53 ± 0.283 |
1Not detectable.
2Due to the presence of milk clots, PMNL counts could not be precisely determined. PMNL counts of more than 108 cells/mL were excluded.
3Significantly different compared to the uninfected quarters.
