feedback2="'''Correct!''' A positive culture for the contagious equine metritis organism (CEMO), Taylorella equigenitalis, is notifiable by law in the UK. The CEM test also tests for Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, however positive cultures of these two organisms are not notifiable.

feedback3="'''Incorrect.''' The testing protocol differs depending on the level of risk of the mare, and the circumstances (i.e. whether she is a 'walk in' mare or boarding on the same premises as the stallion) but endometrial swabs must always be taken during oestrus from the lining of the uterus via the open cervix to demonstrate whether the uterus is free from infection. Clitoral swabs can be taken at any time of the cycle to demonstrate whether the clitoral fossa and sinuses are free from infection. The correct answer is that a positive culture for the contagious equine metritis organism (CEMO), Taylorella equigenitalis, is notifiable by law in the UK. The CEM test also tests for Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, however positive cultures of these two organisms are not notifiable.

feedback4="'''Incorrect.''' Stallions that have not previously been used for breeding purposes are classified as high risk; for other high risk factors, see Appendix 1 of the HBLB CEM Code of Practice. The protocol for testing stallions is as follows: swabs should be taken from three sites; the urethra, urethral fossa and penile sheath, plus pre-ejaculatory fluid when possible. Separate swabs should be used for each site and cultured aerobically and microaerophilically in all circumstances. The correct answer is that a positive culture for the contagious equine metritis organism (CEMO), Taylorella equigenitalis, is notifiable by law in the UK.
