Key Points

Streptococcus zooepidemicus showed varying antibiotic susceptibility, indicating possible treatment challenges.
Infections were indicated in weanling horses, with differences in genetic variation observed among strains.
This analysis included weanling horses across multiple farms in Finland, assessing their health status and infection presence.
These findings emphasize the need for monitoring antibiotic resistance in equine practice; further studies on resistance trending are necessary.
