Prevalence of the virulence-associated gene of Rhodococcus equi in isolates from infected foals.

R E Haites1, G Muscatello, A P Begg, G F Browning.   

Abstract

The prevalence of the plasmid-encoded virulence-associated gene (vapA) of Rhodococcus equi, as determined by PCR, was found to be 98% in isolates from 154 foals with pneumonia, confirming the strong association of vapA with virulence. The vapA genes from 60 representative isolates were compared by digestion with the restriction endonuclease HinfI, and no evidence of sequence variation was detected.
