Mastitis occurs in other animals as in humans, and is especially a concern in livestock, since milk from the affected udders of livestock may enter the food supply and pose a health risk. It is a major condition in some species, like dairy cows .
Treatment of mastitis and/or abscess in nonlactating women is largely the same as that of lactational mastitis, generally involving antibiotics treatment, possibly surgical intervention by means of fine-needle aspiration and/or incision and drainage and/or interventions on the lactiferous ducts (for details, see also the articles on treatment ...

The bacterial species has been isolated from milk in dairy herds and is one of the more uncommon causes of contagious mastitis in the Staphylococcus species. [22] This type of mastitis can be very difficult to control as cows can spread it without being clinically ill. [ 22 ]
Mastitis can occur in one of the breast but in some cases it can occur in both breasts of the neonate. Treatment can be done by using an aggressive course of antibiotics if treated right away and upon diagnosis, which was shown to be 50% effective. [23] Surgical interventions for drainage and abscess removal may be required if infection progresses.
Staphylococcus caprae was first described in 1983 by Devisee et al. based on a strain isolated from goat milk. It can sometimes cause mastitis in the goats, and it is considered a commensal organism for the goats’ skin and mammary glands. It has been reported as a pathogen for humans acquired at hospitals, mostly in bone and joint infections. [5]
