Genomic Characteristics and Pan-Genome Analysis of Rhodococcus equi

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Rhodococcus equi is a zoonotic pathogen that can cause fatal disease in patients who are immunocompromised. At present, the epidemiology and pathogenic mechanisms of R. equi infection are not clear. This study characterized the genomes of 53 R.

Pathogenicity and genomic features of vapN-harboring Rhodococcus equi isolated from human patients.

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
Rhodococcus equi is a saprophytic soil bacterium and intracellular pathogen that causes refractory suppurative pneumonia in foals and has emerged as a pathogenic cause of zoonotic disease. Several studies have reported human infections caused by R.

The opportunistic intracellular bacterial pathogen Rhodococcus equi elicits type I interferon by engaging cytosolic DNA sensing in macrophages

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Rhodococcus equi is a major cause of foal pneumonia and an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised humans. While alveolar macrophages constitute the primary replicative niche for R. equi, little is known about how intracellular R.
