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.

Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Rhodococcus equi from necropsied foals with rhodococcosis.
Veterinary Microbiology, 2020Mainstay therapy for rhodococcosis in foals is the combination of rifampicin and a macrolide. While emergence of resistance to rifampicin and macrolides has been reported, studies demonstrating the development of resistance to such drugs is limited in ...

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.

A case of rhodococcus equi brain abscess
Surgical Neurology, 1991We treated a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome for a brain abscess caused by Rhodococcus equi, an actinomycete that usually infects the lung in immunosuppressed hosts. Rhodococcus equi brain abscess is an extremely rare lesion that has never been reported in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Rhodococcus equi Endophthalmitis
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1989To the Editor. — Rhodococcus (Corynebacterium) equi is a gram-positive, aerobic bacillus that is a common pathogen in animals. Until a few years ago, to our knowledge, no cases of human infection had been reported. Recently, human infestation has been seen in immunocompromised patients, presenting primarily with pulmonary manifestations.

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2019
Transfusing foals with Rhodococcus equi hyperimmune plasma (REHIP) is a standard practice at many horse-breeding farms to help prevent R. equi pneumonia. At many large breeding farms, pneumonia is most commonly recognized as subclinical based on thoracic

Rhodococcus equi: An emerging opportunistic pathogen
Trends in Microbiology, 1996Rhodococcus equi is emerging as a cause of pneumonia in immunocompromised people, especially those with AIDS. Like mycobacteria, R. equi is phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages and replicates within them. Recent work is beginning to elucidate the cell and molecular biology of this opportunistic pathogen and the host immune response to it.

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.

The pathogenesis of rhodococcus equi pneumonia in foals
Veterinary Microbiology, 1987The pathogenesis of Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in foals is reviewed. The main routes of infection are respiratory and alimentary. The latter is probably the chief route of exposure in all foals and probably leads to development of specific immunity. Susceptible foals, those whose maternal immunity wanes before generation of their own immune response ...
