Rapid determination of vapA/vapB genotype in Rhodococcus equi using a differential polymerase chain reaction method.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek - 1 May 2004

Oldfield Christopher, Bonella Hal, Renwick Lynne, Dodson Hilary I, Alderson Grace, Goodfellow Michael

Abstract excerpt

Rhodococcus equi is a facultative pathogen of foals. Infection causes an often fatal pulmonary pneumonia. The organism has also been isolated from pigs, cattle, humans and the environment. Equine virulence has a high positive correlation with the expression of a 17.4 kD polypeptide of unknown function, VapA, the product of the plasmid-encoded vapA gene. More recently an isogene of vapA, referred to as vapB and...
