S. aureus counts in milk 1 week after experimental intramammary infection of immunized and non-immunized cows. S. aureus counts in milk were determined in immunized and non-immunized cows from pre-infusion on day 0 to day 1, 2, 3, and 7 after S. aureus infusion into the quarter (three cows, 6 quarters, n = 6). Mean (± standard error) S. aureus counts are shown. Black circles correspond to nasal immunization samples, white circles to non-immunization controls. *Significant difference between the mean of each group (P < 0.05). N.D, not detected
