Haemolytic streptococci of Lancefield group C are common inhabitants of the equine nasopharynx
Streptococcus zooepidemicus and S. equisimilis are usually non-pathogenic
S. equi is more pathogenic and is the cause of strangles with rhinitis, pharyngitis, lymphadenitis

S. zooepidemicus can cause similar signs to strangles in horses, may accompany COPD
