Streptococcus equinus is a Gram-positive, nonhemolytic, nonpathogenic, lactic acid bacterium of the genus Streptococcus.[5] It is the principal Streptococcus found in the alimentary canal of a horse,[6] and makes up the majority of the bacterial flora in horse feces.[7] Equivalence with Streptococcus bovis has been contested.[4]
