Reinvestigation of the virulence of Rhodococcus equi isolates from patients with and without AIDS

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2020
Rhodococcus equi emerged as a zoonotic pathogen of human immunodeficiency virus‐infected patients over the last three decades. Two virulence plasmid types of R.

CAPSULAR SEROTYPES OF RHODOCOCCUS EQUI

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1982
SUMMARY 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, 1991
Three 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, 1997
Inhalation 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.

Serological epidemiological surveillance for vapN-harboring Rhodococcus equi infection in goats.

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2020
Rhodococcus equi causes suppurative pneumonia in foals aged 1-3 months; moreover, it has emerged as a pathogenic cause of zoonotic diseases. After the initial report of the ruminant-pathogenic factor VapN encoded by the novel virulence plasmid pVAPN ...

Rhodococcus equi Foal Pneumonia

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2014
Pneumonia 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.

Prevalence and risk factors associated with emergence of Rhodococcus equi resistance to macrolides and rifampicin in horse-breeding farms in Kentucky, USA.

Veterinary Microbiology, 2019
The combination of a macrolide and rifampicin has been the mainstay of therapy in foals with Rhodococcus equi pneumonia for decades. Recent studies suggest that mass antimicrobial treatment of subclinically affected foals over time has selected for ...

Rhodococcus equi‐associated osteomyelitis in foals

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1993
SUMMARYTwo 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 novel and transferable erm(51) gene confers Macrolides, Lincosamides, and Streptogramins B (MLSB ) resistance to clonal Rhodococcus equi in the environment.

Environmental Microbiology, 2020
The use of mass antimicrobial treatment has been linked to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in human and animal pathogens. Using whole genome (SMRT) sequencing, we characterized genomic variability of multidrug-resistant R.
