The genome of a pathogenic rhodococcus: cooptive virulence underpinned by key gene acquisitions.

The genome of a pathogenic rhodococcus: cooptive virulence underpinned by key gene acquisitions.

We report the genome of the facultative intracellular parasite Rhodococcus equi, the only animal pathogen within the biotechnologically important actinobacterial genus Rhodococcus. The 5.0-Mb R. equi 103S genome is significantly smaller than those of environmental rhodococci. This is due to genome e...
