Identification of a VapA virulence factor functional homolog in Rhodococcus equi isolates housing the pVAPB plasmid
Rhodococcus equi is a facultative intracellular bacterium of macrophages and is an important pathogen of animals and immunocompromised people wherein disease results in abcessation of the lungs and other sites. Prior work has shown that the presence of the major virulence determinant, VapA, encoded...
