Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript entitled „Resistance Profile of Bovine Mastitis Isolates, Presence of the 2 mecA Gene and Identification of ESBL Producing Strains From 3
Small Rural Dairy Properties” reflects useful and innovative research that has a lot of potential going forward.

Overall, the manuscript represents cutting-edge research, fairly well organized, and carried out. Both the science and the presentation are strong. So, I would suggest that it be accepted for publication after minor corrections.

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear colleagues,

I have read the manuscript entitled ‘Resistance Profile of Bovine Mastitis Isolates, Presence of the 2 mecA Gene and Identification of ESBL Producing Strains From 3 Small Rural Dairy Properties’ thoroughly.

The manuscript is discussing an interesting issue including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens from mastitis cases with associated antibacterial resistance profiles.

Additionally, the possibility of spread of mastitis infection in herds through hands of milkers and the adequate management procedures that have to be taken in consideration.

Overall, the manuscript is well written. The methods are thorough and well presented. Results and discussion are relevant. I don’t have a huge amount of comments and I agree to publish after minor language check.

Best regards
