Uncommon outbreak of mastitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in 19 cows was reported.Enrofloxacin (73.7%) and danofloxacin were in vitro effective against those strains. In vitro multipledrug resistance of the isolated bacteria was observed to five or more conventional antimicrobials usedfor mammary therapy, including ampicillin (100.0%), cefalexin (100.0%), cloxacillin (100.0%),gentamicin (100.0%), penicillin/novobiocin (100.0%), cefoperazone (52.6%), tetracycline (100.0%),florfenicol (94.7%), and neomycin (73.7%).
