Improved Electroporation of Rhodococcus equi.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1998
The condition of an electroporation method was re-evaluated for the introduction of foreign plasmid DNA into Rhodococcus equi. The method is based on an electroporation of the bacteria made competent by culturing in a broth containing glycine and by heat shock at 50 degrees C. Transformation of R. equi could be achieved with a chloramphenicol-resistant

Immunogenicity of an electron beam inactivated Rhodococcus equi vaccine in neonatal foals. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Rhodococcus equi is an important pathogen of foals that causes severe pneumonia. To date, there is no licensed vaccine effective against R. equi pneumonia of foals.

BMC Microbiology / Rhodococcus erythropolis MTHt3 biotransforms ergopeptines to lysergic acid [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Ergopeptines are a predominant class of ergot alkaloids produced by tall fescue grass endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum or cereal pathogen Claviceps purpurea.

A retrospective case series of 66 foals with presumed acute interstitial pneumonia

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 143-153, March 2026.
Summary Background There is limited literature describing acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) in foals. Objectives Description of clinical and ultrasonographic findings in 66 foals affected by AIP. Investigation into whether the number of AIP cases is associated with specific climatic conditions. We also investigated whether clinical, haematological and

Plasma C‐reactive protein and interleukin‐6 concentrations in foals during health and respiratory disease

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 372-379, March 2026.
Abstract Background Early and specific diagnosis of bronchopneumonia in foals is important to prevent severe disease. In human medicine, C‐reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) are important diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in neonatal pneumonia in other species.

Rhodococcus bacteremia in cancer patients is mostly catheter related and associated with biofilm formation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Rhodococcus is an emerging cause of opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients, most commonly causing cavitary pneumonia. It has rarely been reported as a cause of isolated bacteremia.

The potential value of cytokine, cortisol and vitamin D profiles in foals from birth to weaning for respiratory disease prediction on a farm endemic for Rhodococcus equi pneumonia

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 359-371, March 2026.
Abstract Background Rhodococcus equi causes pneumonia in young foals, but disease susceptibility and severity vary. Cortisol and vitamin D modulate immune responses and cytokine production during bacterial infection, and altered concentrations are associated with sepsis in neonatal foals. We hypothesised an age and disease effect on circulating steroid

Virulence-associated plasmids in Rhodococcus equi [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1993
Twenty-three strains of Rhodococcus equi from independent clinical cases were analyzed for the presence of virulence plasmid DNA. Of the clinical isolates, 19 contained an 85-kb plasmid and the remaining 4 contained a 90-kb plasmid. All of the isolates expressed 15- to 17-kDa antigens and were virulent in mice.
