Streptococcus equi equi PCR
- Test Code
- S86308
- Results:
- 4-5 days.
- Specimen
- One or more of the following: 5.0 mL nasal wash in non‑additive tube, 5.0 mL guttural pouch wash in non‑additive tube, pharyngeal swab in non‑additive tube without media.
- Test Description
- Detection of S. equi equi bacterial DNA as the causative agent of Strangles infection. A positive sample indicates the presence of DNA but does not confirm live organism. A culture should be submitted separately. Can also be used to identify asymptomatic carriers.
Nasopharyngeal wash or guttural pouch washes are the preferred samples. Nasal swabs are NOT recommended.

Streptococcus equi SeM ELISA
- Test Code

- Results:
- 7-10 days.

- The SeM ELISA test assesses the IgG titer against the S. equi specific M protein. It is helpful for making vaccination decisions on horses with existing titers, identifying horses at risk of complications due to elevated titers or for horses with aberrant abscesses (bastard strangles). The SeM ELISA should not be used to determine the infection status of horses with clinical signs of strangles.
