Bacterial agents commonly associated with the occurrence of placentitis include Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as Leptospira spp and Nocardioform bacteria (Crossiella equi, Amycolatopsis spp and others).
Four different types of equine placentitis have been described according to the morphological lesions and suggested pathogenesis, namely ascending, focal mucoid (nocardioform), diffuse (haematogenous) and, less commonly, multifocal.

Up to February 24, there have been 126 abortions this year caused by the condition known as nocardioform placentitis, compared with six last year and 40 in 2009.
The highest number of abortions caused by nocardioform placentitis was 144 in 1999, which represents around one per cent of the Kentucky mare population.
