Q

In horses guttural pouch mycoses occur as a complication of

A

Strangles because all of lymphnodes in the retopharyneal region are inflammed, so it blocks the area and fungal organisms can get in

This would probably be aspergilis

B. R. equi is a facultative intracellular bacteria

C. R. equi is partially acid fast

D. Penicillin is the antibiotic of choice in treatming R. equi infections
