Abstract excerpt
Treatment with a combination of erythromycin and rifampin has considerably improved survival rates of foals and immunocompromised patients suffering from severe pneumonia caused by Rhodococcus equi.

Using consensus oligonucleotides, we have amplified and sequenced the rifampin resistance...
