Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) could be introduced into animal feed as an alternative prevention method that would bypass the risk of resistance development. In previous research, we demonstrated that two probiotic LAB strains isolated from bovine milk were capable of stimulating the production of antibodies and the host\u2019s immune cellular response in the udder. The present study aimed to elucidate whether the antibodies of animals inoculated with these strains were able to increase phagocytosis by neutrophils and inhibit the growth of different mastitis-causing pathogens. Moreover, the effect of LAB on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines was assessed. Ten animals were inoculated intramammarily with 10<jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup> cells of the two strains at dry-off. The blood serum was tested for its ability to opsonize bovine mastitis pathogens, the <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> bactericidal activity of bovine blood and milk against these pathogens was determined, and cytokine mRNA expression was quantified in milk somatic cells. The inoculated animals did not show abnormal signs of sensitivity to the LAB. Their blood serum significantly enhanced the phagocytosis of <jats:italic>Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. and the LAB. <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Streptococcus uberis<\/jats:italic> were inhibited by the milk serum but not the blood serum, whereas <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Staphylococcus haemolyticus<\/jats:italic> were inhibited by both. In regard to cytokine expression, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 increased markedly for up to 4 h post-inoculation, and an increase in IL-8 was observed 4, 12 and 24 h after inoculation. Tumour necrosis factor-\u03b1 mRNA increased 1 and 2 h after inoculation and a significant difference was registered at 6 h for interferon-\u03b3. This rapid immunomodulatory response shows that inoculating animals with LAB at dry-off, when they are especially susceptible, could be a useful strategy for the prevention of bovine mastitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3920\/bm2019.0163","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,9]],"date-time":"2020-10-09T07:35:59Z","timestamp":1602228959000},"page":"561-572","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Intramammary inoculation with lactic acid bacteria at dry-off triggers an immunomodulatory response in dairy cows"],"prefix":"10.1163","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Berardo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Microbiolog\u00eda e Inmunolog\u00eda, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, F\u00edsico-Qu\u00edmicas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de R\u00edo Cuarto, Ruta 36 Km 601, 5800-R\u00edo Cuarto, C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina."},{"name":"Member of Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y Tecnol\u00f3gicas (CONICET), Godoy Cruz 2290, C1425FQB-Ciudad Aut\u00f3noma de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Bohl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Member of Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y Tecnol\u00f3gicas (CONICET), Godoy Cruz 2290, C1425FQB-Ciudad Aut\u00f3noma de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina."},{"name":"CIT-VM (Centro de Investigaciones y Transferencia de Villa Mar\u00eda, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y T\u00e9cnicas (CONICET), Universidad Nacional de Villa Mar\u00eda), Av.
