Horizontal Spread of Rhodococcus equi Macrolide Resistance Plasmid pRErm46 across Environmental Actinobacteria
11 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
This study demonstrates the efficient horizontal transfer of the Rhodococcus equi conjugative plasmid pRErm46, recently identified as the cause of the emerging macrolide resistance among equine isolates of this pathogen, to and from different environmental Actinobacteria , including a variety of rhodococci as well as Nocardia and Arthrobacter spp. The reported data support the notion that environmental...
