Lactococcus garvieae is a catalase-negative, Gram-positive coccus that occurs in pairs and short chains. It is present throughout the world and a causative agent of bovine mastitis. However, prior to writing, no case of mastitis caused by this bacterium had been reported in Poland. The aim of this research was to investigate the presence of L. garvieae in milk samples from Polish cows with inflammation of the mammary gland.
