Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1993
This article summarizes recent advances in understanding of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory diagnosis, immunology, treatment, and control of Rhodococcus equi infections in foals. Our understanding of these aspects currently is sufficient to ensure control of this problem on affected farms and in infected foals. More information,

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2010
Rhodococcus equi is a veterinary pathogen that can cause substantial morbidity in patients that are immunocompromised and are occupationally and recreationally exposed to farming, livestock, and dry soil environments. Although the clinical spectrum of disease associated with R equi is broad, pulmonary involvement is a predominant feature in most cases.

Veterinary Microbiology, 1984
A selective broth enrichment technique was used to study the distribution of Rhodococcus equi in soil and grazing animals. Rhodococcus equi was isolated from 54% of soils examined and from the gut contents, rectal faeces and dung of all grazing herbivorous species examined.

CAPSULAR SEROTYPES OF RHODOCOCCUS EQUI
Australian Veterinary Journal, 1982SUMMARY One hundred strains of Rhodococcus equi from various animal species and sources in Australia were examined for capsular serotype. Eighty‐four of the strains fell into the existing 7 serotypes, and just under half of the strains belonged to serotype 1.

Infections with Rhodococcus equi in children
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1991Three cases of serious infection in children, including the first two reports of bacteremia, due to Rhodococcus equi are described. Only seven pediatric cases have been reported to date. In the laboratory, R. equi can easily be misidentified as a nonpathogenic Corynebacterium spp. (diphtheroid) or a Mycobacterium spp.

Pathogenesis and virulence of Rhodococcus equi
Veterinary Microbiology, 1997Inhalation of the soil-borne organism, Rhodococcus equi, can lead to a chronic and severe pyogranulomatous pneumonia in young horses and immunocompromised people. In addition, ulcerative colitis is a common sequela to infection in foals, and dissemination from the lung to other body sites is not uncommon in either the horse or man.

Rhodococcus equi Foal Pneumonia
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2014Pneumonia caused by Rhodococcus equi is an important cause of disease and death in foals. This article reviews current knowledge of the epidemiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of R equi pneumonia in foals.

Rhodococcus equi‐associated osteomyelitis in foals
Australian Veterinary Journal, 1993SUMMARYTwo cases of Rhodococcus equl infection in foals are described, in which osteomyelitis was a feature. Because rhodococcal infection is usually low grade and chronic, and because the signs of early metaphysitis can be subtle, any articular or periarticular swelling in a foal from a farm with a history of rhodococcosis should be strongly suspected

The toxonomic status of Rhodococcus equi
Veterinary Microbiology, 1987The species Corynebacterium equi was proposed for strains isolated from foals suffering from purulent pneumonia. The taxon has had a confused history and is currently listed under both Corynebacterium and Rhodococcus in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names.

Rhodococcus Equi: An Emerging Opportunistic Pathogen?
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1989AbstractHuman infection with Rhodococcus equi is apparently rare with most published reports describing the development of lung abscesses in immunocompromised hosts. Of only 18 cases of infection previously recorded, four have recently occurred in patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). In Australasia, R.
