Aims To isolate and characterize a diversity of bacteriophages (phages) that infect the soilborne pathogen Rhodococcus equi. Methods and Results Twenty-seven phages were isolated from soil samples from geographically distinct locations using a ran...

Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) is a Gram positive, facultative and weakly acid-fast bacterium, which causes respiratory disease in foals worldwide resulting in pneumonia, often with fatal consequences. Human infections of R. equi that are resistant to an... Read More about Complete genome sequence analysis of Rhodococcus equi Phage E3 and Insight into R. equi Phage Diversity..
