Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi), causes the potentially fatal respiratory disease in horses known as "strangles", while the closely related Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus (S. zooepidemicus) causes potentially fatal infections in humans. A study was undertaken to determine the survival of these 2 organisms in compost and soiled bedding.
