Streptococcus equi subsp. equi is a very pathogenic bacteria typically causing suppurative rhinitis, pharyngitis and lymphadenitis of the lymph nodes of the head and neck that drain the upper respiratory tract. These lymph nodes often rupture and discharge pus 2-3 weeks after the onset of infection.

feedback1="'''Correct!''' Pizzle rot, otherwise known as ulcerative balanoposthitis is seen as ulceration around the prepucial orifice with a brown crust, particularly in Merino sheeep and Angora goats. High urine urea levels from high protein intake may predispose to the condition and castration and heavy wool around the prepuce are risk factors, but the actual causal agent is Corynebacterium renale. The bacteria hydrolyses urea to ammonia which then causes mucosal irritation and ulceration. [[Corynebacterium renale|WikiVet Article: Corynebacterium]]" | feedback1="'''Correct!'''
