This is an interesting article (with a good vet’s video explanation embedded) regarding a respiratory illness and corresponding bacterial infection affecting the canine community at the San Diego Humane Society.
The article talks about Streptococcus Equi subspecies zooepidemicus, which is also known as Strep zoo, and the bacterial infection Mycoplasma, according to SDHS, which said the pair acting in combination "have led to more severe disease than what the shelter might see with just one of these pathogens."
While this is unusual, and I certainly haven’t heard of this occurring in Australia, its yet another reason to ensure that your disinfectant of choice is capable of knocking out a wide number of pathogens, and that you are aware of, and confident in the dilutions and contact times required for such kill.
F10SC Veterinary Disinfectant is exactly what you’d want to be using here, featuring quick kill times against both of these pathogens, and at the same time remaining safe for both staff and animals alike. F10’s user-friendliness means it can be used in almost any manner necessary (for example fogging), which is another great benefit of the product, and one of the reasons it’s the overwhelming market leader in the Australian veterinary market.
