Abstract excerpt
Summary The use of mass antimicrobial treatment has been linked to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in human and animal pathogens. Using whole‐genome single‐molecule real‐time (SMRT) sequencing, we characterized genomic variability of multidrug‐resistant Rhodococcus equi isolated from soil samples from 100 farms endemic for R . equi infections in Kentucky. We discovered the novel erm (51)‐encoding...
