feedback2="'''Incorrect.''' Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis does not cause pyelonephritis in the horse. The correct answer is that C. pseudotuberculosis causes ulcerative lymphangitis in the horse. The infection results in lymphangitis of lower limbs or abscessation in pectoral region. This is a rare disease in the UK, but is relatively common in southwestern USA, where infection in horses is seasonal, with a peak incidence in late summer and autumn. In the UK, the same organism is more commonly found in sheep and goats, where it causes caseous lymphadenitis. Link to WikiVet: Corynebacterium" | feedback2="'''Incorrect.'''
