Introduction. Contagious equine metritis (CEM) is a venereal disease of equids caused by the bacteria Taylorella equigenitalis.This gram-negative coccobacillus is a member of the Alcaligenaceae family and is one of two species in the genus. It is only known to infect equids, and colonization in males is asymptomatic with bacteria co-existing among normal skin flora.
