Acknowledgments

We are especially grateful for V. Filatova from “Children park Fili” Horseback Riding Center in Moscow, for the help with veterinary manipulations. We would like to also acknowledge Dr. E. Ilina and her student A. Bordovskaya for MALDI-TOF identification of bacterial isolates and our student M. Chupanova for her help in some experiments. The work of our laboratory is supported by the grants of Russian ministry of Science and education, RFBR grant No.09-04-01482-a and by a grant from RAS program “Basic science-to-medicine”. This study was a part of the educational project carried out by our laboratory in collaboration with School “Intellectual”. A secondary school student (D.S.) was a participant in the experimental work conducted during this study.
