Serogrouping of Rhodococcus equi [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 1983
AbstractThe serological relationships among 27 isolates of Rhodococcus equi selected from a total of 1,195 isolates were investigated by cross‐agglutination and absorption tests. The presence of capsular material was demonstrated in all the 27 isolates by electron microscopic observation.

Internally controlled real-time PCR method for quantitative species-specific detection and vapA genotyping of Rhodococcus equi [PDF]

, 2006
We developed a novel quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) method for the soil actinomycete Rhodococcus equi, an important horse pathogen and emerging human pathogen.

Immunity to Rhodococcus equi

Veterinary Microbiology, 1997
Rhodococcal pneumonia is an important, life threatening disease of foals and immunosuppressed humans. Increased knowledge of the mechanisms of protective immunity are required in order to develop an effective immunoprophylaxis strategy for horses and immunotherapeutic regiments for people.

Structural characterisation of the virulence-associated protein VapG from the horse pathogen Rhodococcus equi [PDF]

, 2015
Virulence and host range in Rhodococcus equi depends on the variable pathogenicity island of their virulence plasmids. Notable gene products are a family of small secreted virulence-associated proteins (Vaps) that are critical to intramacrophagic ...
