Abstract excerpt
During a survey of the prevalence of virulent Rhodococcus equi at horse-breeding farms by plasmid and protein profiles, cryptic plasmids of various sizes were found in 66 (3.8%) of 1,725 isolates from feces of horses and 129 (5.9%) of 2,200 isolates from soil. Twenty-two isolates, which contained cryptic plasmids of different sizes, were found by plasmid profiles, and their protein profiles and mouse...
