One hundred and five strains of Corynebacterium equi from various sources were examined for the production of 11 extracellular enzymes. Only lipase and phosphatase activity were detected in all strains. A small number of strains produced deoxyribonuclease but these strains were not confined to any one source. It seems likely that C. equi does not rely on a powerful array of extracellular enzymes to induce pathology.
