Rhodococcus equi infection of cats
Veterinary Dermatology, 1999Six cases of Rhodococcus equi infection in cats are described. One cat had pneumonia and died. The remaining five cats had cutaneous lesions affecting the feet in four of the cats and the metacarpus in one cat, and all these cats recovered with the aid of antibiotics.

Infectious Endocarditis Caused by Rhodococcus equi
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2010Rhodococcus equi is an unusual cause of infection. Furthermore, this infection also tends to be typically described in immunocompromised patients. This report describes a 25-year-old previously healthy man with infectious endocarditis that was found to have been caused by R equi complicated by a subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, and a ...

Seminars in respiratory infections, 1997
Corynebacterium equi is a pleomorphic gram-positive rod that was first isolated in 1923 by Magnusson, and is the cause of suppurative broncho-pneumonia in foals. The organism, now know as Rhodococcus equi, is ubiquitous in nature and is increasingly recognized as pathogenic, particularly in the immunocompromised population.

Lung abscess caused by Rhodococcus equi
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1991In the immunocompromised patient, early diagnosis of a lung cavity is essential for appropriate treatment. Rhodococcus equi (formerly Corynebacterium equi) is a variably acid-fast bacterium that can produce cavitary disease in an immunocompromised host.

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.

Rhodococcus Equi Infection In 3 Aids Patients
Acta Clinica Belgica, 1996Three cases of AIDS complicated by Rhodococcus equi infection are reported. At least one of the patients acquired his Rhodococcus infection in Africa. Despite the fact that the R. equi strains were susceptible to tetracycline, erythromycin, amikacin, co-trimoxazole, rifampicin and vancomycin, these antibiotics were clinically not successful. A clinical

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.

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.
