In this study lactating female rabbits and strains of coliforms previously isolated from acute and chronic mastitis cases in dairy cattle were used. The pathological changes on mastitis experimentally induced with the coliform strains and the mammary glands after infusions of Escherichia coli suspension together with dexamethasone, dextran iron or transferrin were grossly and microscopically observed. In the bacterial suspension-infused groups by E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter aerogenes, the affected quarters of udder showed gross swelling, hyperemia, hemorrhage, focal necrosis and firmness
