Yang Xiaoyan, et al. Plasmids and Antibiotic Susceptibillity of the Rhodococcus equi[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 1999,(3):227-229. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.1999.03.002.
Nineteen strains of Rhodococcus equi is olated from clinical cases were analyzed for antibiotic susceptibilityand the presence of plasmids. All the strains were multiple drug resistant and contained a 9.4Kb plasmid.Virulent plasmids were not found. Further study is needed to determine the biological significance of 9.4Kbplasmid.
