Effects of Separate and Concomitant TLR-2 and TLR-4 Activation in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Newborn and Adult Horses [PDF]

, 2013
Deficient innate and adaptive immune responses cause newborn mammals to be more susceptible to bacterial infections than adult individuals. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are known to play a pivotal role in bacterial recognition and subsequent immune ...

From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

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.

Real‐time fluorometric isothermal assays for detection of Streptococcus equi subspecies equi and Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus in horses: Validation, comparison and evaluation of their clinical application

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 158-166, March 2026.
Infectious diseases significantly impact equine health and welfare, causing illness and death, and loss of productivity globally. One such disease is ‘strangles’, a highly contagious upper respiratory condition in horses caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (SEE).

An alphaherpesvirus exploits antimicrobial beta-defensins to initiate respiratory tract infection [PDF]

, 2020
beta-Defensins protect the respiratory tract against the myriad of microbial pathogens entering the airways with each breath. However, this potentially hostile environment is known to serve as a portal of entry for herpesviruses.

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.
