Detection of vapN in Rhodococcus equi isolates cultured from humans.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2018

Bryan Laura K, Alexander Ellen Ruth, Lawhon Sara D, Cohen Noah D

Abstract excerpt

Rhodococcus equi can cause severe infections in people, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. The R. equi virulence plasmids (vap) encoding vapA and vapB are linked to development of infections in domestic animals. Recently, a novel virulence plasmid, vapN, was identified in isolates cultured from cattle, but its prevalence or significance in human R. equi infections has not been extensively studied. To...
