Streptococcus pyogenes is the main agent of porcine streptococcosis
F
Streptococcosis of pigs can be seen generally among fattening pigs

septic arthritis
Streptococcus equi subsp. Equi is a zoonotic agent
F
Strangles can be diagnosed by staining abscess content
T
Colic can be a clinical sign of strangles
T
In endemic studs strangles is generally seen in horses that are older than 6 months
T
The agent of strangles is carried on the tonsils of most horses
T
Strangles is mainly seen in foals till the age of 4 months of age
F
The agent of strangles is spreading very fast among horses
T
Recovered animals carry the agent of strangles for a certain time
T
Horses with strangles are treated with penicillin

Carriers of agent of strangles can detected with PCR
T
Carriers of agent of strangles can detected with bacterium culture
T
Haemorrhagic diarrhoea can be a clinical sign of strangles
F
Strangles is caused by Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus
F
The morbidity of strangles is high, but the mortality is low
T
Abscesses are the typical clinical signs of strangles
T
The causative agent of strangles is Streptococcus equi subsp. equi
T
The causative agent of strangles has to be introduced in the herd

Strangles is treated with polymyxins
F
neomycin + polymixins in contagious equine metritis
strepto penicilins
staphyl tetracycline macrolides
Strangles can be successfully treated with penicillin

The causative agent of strangles is obligate pathogen
F
In strangles, morbidity is high
T
Fever is an important sign of strangles
