Effect of Macrolide and Rifampin Resistance on the Fitness of Rhodococcus equi

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2019
This work advances our understanding of the opportunistic environmental pathogen Rhodococcus equi, a disease agent affecting horses and immunocompromised people. R. equi is one of the most common causes of severe pneumonia in young horses.

Immunoprophylaxis of Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in foals

Veterinary Microbiology, 1997
An immunoprophylaxis program for R. equi infection of foals has been established on a number of thoroughbred breeding farms in Argentina over the past 4 years. Nearly 800 mares annually were immunized subcutaneously during the last 2 months of pregnancy with 2-3 doses of a vaccine containing soluble antigens of R.

Virulence‐associated protein A from Rhodococcus equi is an intercompartmental pH‐neutralising virulence factor

Cellular Microbiology, 2018
Professional phagocytic cells such as macrophages are a central part of innate immune defence. They ingest microorganisms into membrane‐bound compartments (phagosomes), which acidify and eventually fuse with lysosomes, exposing their contents to a ...

Antibody to Poly-N-acetyl glucosamine provides protection against intracellular pathogens: Mechanism of action and validation in horse foals challenged with Rhodococcus equi

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Immune correlates of protection against intracellular bacterial pathogens are largely thought to be cell-mediated, although a reasonable amount of data supports a role for antibody-mediated protection.
