Summary of the pathogens [M. bovis (MB), H. somni (HS), M. haemolytica (MH), P. multocida (PM), and T. pyogenes (TP)] with the percentage of the observation units, in which the respective pathogen was detected, which were classified as sick and the minimum and maximum Cq value for both healthy (H) and sick (S) observation units.

The median clinical score and mean age for the healthy (H) and sick (S) observation units and the number of healthy (H) and sick (S) observation units where the pathogen was detected as the only pathogen. Finally, the pathogens which the respective pathogen was most often found in combination with are shown.
