Also known as: C.bovis
Corynebacterium bovis is a species of the Corynebacterium genus. It causes subclinical mastitis in cattle.
It is found in the teat cistern and causes a mild neutrophil response in the teat canal of healthy dairy cows and may protect against invasion from more pathogenic bacteria.
C.bovis is the only pathogenic Corynebacterium species that does not produce urease. It is a lipophilic bacterium that produces small, white, dry, non-haemolytic colonies on plates inoculated with bovine milk.
