DiagnosisDiagnosis of CEM is achieved by PCR or culturing the organism from urethral fossa, urethra, and semen of stallions and the clitoral sinus and clitoral fossa of mares. One or two swab(s) from smegma of clitorial sinuses and/or fossae are taken and transferred in AMIES transport medium with charcoal at 4 °C to a laboratory. The volume of the sample on the swab is not relevant, as even a low volume of smegma may harbor this pathogen.[2] References1. ^George M. Garrity: Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. 2.
