Modulation of Cytokine Response of Pneumonic Foals by Virulent Rhodococcus equi
Giguère, Steeve, Wilkie, Bruce N., Prescott, John F.
The ability of Rhodococcus equi to induce pneumonia in foals depends on the presence of an 85- to 90-kb plasmid. In this study, we evaluated whether plasmid-encoded products mediate virulence by...
Cytokine Induction in Murine Macrophages Infected with Virulent and Avirulent Rhodococcus equi
Giguère, Steeve, Prescott, John F.
To look for a possible correlation between the virulence of Rhodococcus equi and its cytokine-inducing capacity, we evaluated intracellular survival and measured cytokine induction by mouse...
Giguère, Steeve, Hondalus, Mary K., Yager, Julie A., Darrah, Patricia, Mosser, David M., Prescott, John F.
Rhodococcus equi is a facultative intracellular pathogen of macrophages and a cause of pneumonia in young horses (foals) and immunocompromised people. Isolates of R. equi from pneumonic foals...
Performance of Five Serological Assays for Diagnosis of Rhodococcus equi Pneumonia in Foals
Giguère, Steeve, Hernandez, Jorge, Gaskin, Jack, Prescott, John F., Takai, Shinji, Miller, Corey
The performance of four enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) (ELISA-6939, ELISA-33701, ELISA-VapA, and ELISA-California) and an agar gel immunodiffusion test for diagnosis of Rhodococcus equi...
Jacks, Stephanie S., Giguère, Steeve, Nguyen, An
The objective of this study was to determine in vitro activities of azithromycin (AZM), clarithromycin (CLR), and 20 other antimicrobial agents against Rhodococcus equi and other common equine...

Jacks, Stephanie, Giguère, Steeve, Prescott, John F.
Rhodococcus equi is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes pneumonia in foals but does not induce disease in adult horses. Virulence of R. equi depends on the presence of a large plasmid,...
Jacks, Stephanie, Giguère, Steeve, Crawford, P. Cynda, Castleman, William L.
Rhodococcus equi is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes pneumonia in young foals but does not induce disease in immunocompetent adult horses. Clearance of R. equi depends mainly on gamma...
Foal Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells Become Activated upon Rhodococcus equi Infection▿ †
Nydam, Daryl V., Marquis, Hélène, Matychak, Mary Beth, Giguère, Steeve
Susceptibility of foals to Rhodococcus equi pneumonia is exclusive to the first few months of life. The objective of this study was to investigate the immediate immunologic response of foal and adult...
