Influence of Rhodococcus Equi on the Respiratory Burst of Resident Alveolar Macrophages From Horses
Abstract
dc:descriptionRhodococcus equi is the etiologic agent of a devastating pneumonia of sporadic incidence in foals. Opsonized Rhodococcus equi are phagocytosed by equine alveolar macrophages but are ineffectively killed. The respiratory burst of equine neutrophils is obtunded by R. equi. If the bacteria similarly influence equine alveolar macrophages, that could partially explain its facultative intracellular survival.
