Jan 26th, 2021 - Multidrug resistance has been detected in the animal and zoonotic human pathogen Rhodococcus equi after mass macrolide/rifampin antibioprophylaxis in endemically affected equine farms in the United States. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) R. equi emerged...

Sep 29th, 2020 - Study of the rifampicin resistance of Rhodococcus equi strains isolated from French horses over a 20-year period. Rifampicin susceptibility was tested by disk diffusion (DD) and broth macrodilution methods, and rpoB gene sequencing and MLST were p...

Sep 10th, 2020 - Rhodococcus equi causes suppurative pneumonia in foals aged 1-3 months; moreover, it has emerged as a pathogenic cause of zoonotic diseases. After the initial report of the ruminant-pathogenic factor VapN encoded by the novel virulence plasmid pVA...

Jul 5th, 2020 - We report a case of disseminated infection by Rhodococcus equi as the inaugural manifestation of idiopathic T-CD4+ lymphopenia. We aim to demonstrate our diagnostic and therapeutic approach and focus on the major dilemmas arising from the lack of ...

Jul 24th, 2019 - The soil-dwelling, saprophytic actinomycete Rhodococcus equi is a facultative intracellular pathogen of macrophages and causes severe bronchopneumonia when inhaled by susceptible foals. Standard treatment for R. equi disease is dual-antimicrobial ...
