Recent work by Petersen et al (2015) has shown that dormant Streptococcus zooepidemicus can be activated by infusing a proprietary medium (bActivate) into the uterus. After the infusion (24 hours) 64% (15/25) mares were culture positive for Streptococcus zooepidemicus as compared to 8% (1/12) mares infused with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The proprietary medium is capable is able to get bacteria to convert from the dormant state to a metabolically active state and treatment can be initiated. Interestingly, it should be noted that breeding also may result in bacteria being activated from a dormant state.
