Comparative translocation of enteropathogenic Campylobacter spp. and Escherichia coli from the intestinal tract of gnotobiotic mice.

abstract：:Streptococcus equi is the causative agent of strangles, the most frequently diagnosed infectious disease of horses worldwide. The disease is characterized by abscessation and swelling of the lymph nodes of the head and neck, which can literally strangle the horse to death. S. equi produces four recently acquired phage...
