A new treatment strategy against antibiotic - resistant
foal pneumonia.
Recent research includes several projects focused on infectious diseases, including
foal pneumonia, a devastating disease of newborn foals.
Investigating Antibiotic - resistant
Foal Pneumonia Researchers will investigate the mechanisms leading to development and transmission of antimicrobial resistance in Rhodococcus equi.
Developing a Prevention Strategy for
Foal Pneumonia Researchers will investigate if vaccinating mares will protect their newborn foals against pneumonia caused by the bacterium Rhodococcus equi.
The studies will help veterinary scientists improve the health and well - being of horses through improved prevention and treatment of numerous health challenges including
foal pneumonia, laminitis and septicemia.
