Association between a large plasmid and 15- to 17-kilodalton antigens in virulent Rhodococcus equi
1 Nov 1991
Abstract excerpt
Rhodococcus equi strains showing 15- to 17-kDa antigens in immunoblots were found to be virulent in mice. To study the genes specific to these antigens in virulent R. equi, we compared plasmid profiles, immunoblot profiles, and murine pathogenicity profiles of 10 strains of R. equi. All the strains showing 15- to 17-kDa antigens contained a large plasmid of approximately 85 kbp and were virulent in mice; however,...
