Bluebag is a severe form of mastitis and is caused by bacteria which enter through the teat canal and cause an infection in the udder. It often becomes so severe as to interfere with the blood supply to the udder. This reduced blood supply causes a blue discoloration and if there is a complete loss of blood supply, gangrene, with sloughing of that half of the udder. 1, record 3, English, - bluebag

Les mammites pourraient résulter d’une infection de la mamelle par voie ascendante. Les agneaux porteurs de souches de Mannheimia haemolytica au niveau de la bouche contaminent la peau de la mamelle. Mannheimia haemolytica n’ est pas apte à coloniser la peau de la mamelle(les souches ne sont présentes que durant la période d’allaitement) mais les bactéries peuvent atteindre la glande mammaire par le canal du trayon et on sait qu'un nombre restreint de germes(moins de 10 UFC) suffit à déclencher une mammite. Cliniquement, il s’agit de mammites le plus souvent unilatérales, sévères, nécrotiques ou gangreneuse(d’où la dénomination de «blue bag»), accompagnées de signes généraux(fièvre, anorexie, inappétence, abattement) dus à la libération d’endotoxine et pouvant même provoquer la mort des animaux. 1, record 3, French, - mammite%20gangreneuse
