Int J Microbiol . 2025 Jan; 2025():6618952. PMID: 39802684
-a facultative intracellular pathogen of macrophages-causes bronchopneumonia in foals and patients who are immunocompromised. Virulent strains of possess a virulence-associated plasmid, which encodes a 15- to 17-kDa surface protein called...

Vet Microbiol . 2024 Jun; 295:110132. PMID: 38838383
Rhodococcus equi has recently been identified in various animals, including ruminants. Several studies have highlighted the emergence of pVAPN-harboring strains, isolated from multiple abscesses, in the liver and lungs of...

Matsuoka M, Kobayashi A, Matsuoka M, Honda Y, Hashimoto R, Sasaki Y, et al.
J Vet Med Sci . 2024 Apr; 86(6):600-605. PMID: 38631887
To investigate the etiological role of vapB-positive Rhodococcus equi in pigs, R. equi was isolated from the submaxillary lymph nodes with or without macroscopically detectable lesions of apparently healthy growing-finishing...

Takai S, Mizuno Y, Suzuki Y, Sasaki Y, Kakuda T, Kirikae T
Nihon Saikingaku Zasshi . 2024 Feb; 79(1):15-24. PMID: 38382971
Rhodococcus equi is a facultative intracellular gram-positive coccobacillus which is a well-known cause of foal pneumonia and/or enteritis in equine veterinary medicine. More than 300 cases of R. equi infection...

Takai S, Suzuki Y, Sasaki Y, Kakuda T, Garcia Ribeiro M, Makrai L, et al.
Vet Microbiol . 2023 Nov; 287:109919. PMID: 38000208
Virulent Rhodococcus equi strains expressing virulence-associated 15-17 kDa protein (VapA) and having a large virulence plasmid (pVAPA) of 85-90 kb containing vapA gene are pathogenic for horses. In the last...

Suzuki Y, Takai S, Morizane Y, Yasuda K, Takahashi K, Ishitsuka T, et al.
Microbiol Spectr . 2023 Oct; 11(6):e0072923. PMID: 37800907
can cause infection in ruminants, and its pathogenicity is suggested to be associated with VapN. Despite its wide distribution, no immunological diagnostic method has been developed for VapN-producing . Against...

Microbiol Spectr . 2022 May; 10(3):e0075822. PMID: 35638814
A previously reported method for evaluating the intracellular growth of Rhodococcus equi using enhanced green fluorescent protein is unsuitable for the quantitative evaluation of the entire sample because the signal...

Suzuki Y, Takai S, Kubota H, Hasegawa N, Ito S, Yabuuchi Y, et al.
Microbiol Immunol . 2022 Mar; 66(6):307-316. PMID: 35274358
Rhodococcus equiis the causative agent of pyogenic pneumonia in foals, and a virulence-associated protein A (VapA) encoded on the pVAPA virulence plasmid is important for its pathogenicity. In this study,...
