Evolution of theRhodococcus equi vapPathogenicity Island Seen through Comparison of Host-AssociatedvapAandvapBVirulence Plasmids

8 Jul 2008

Abstract excerpt

The pathogenic actinomycete Rhodococcus equi harbors different types of virulence plasmids associated with specific nonhuman hosts. We determined the complete DNA sequence of a vapB(+) plasmid, typically associated with pig isolates, and compared it with that of the horse-specific vapA(+) plasmid type. pVAPB1593, a circular 79,251-bp element, had the same housekeeping backbone as the vapA(+) plasmid but differed...
