Abstract:Rhodococcus equi causes pyogranulomatous pneumonia in foals and
immunocompromised people. Despite decades of research efforts, no
vaccine is available against this common cause of disease and death in
foals. The purpose of this narrative review was to summarize the current
understanding of interactions between R. equi and the host innate
immune system, to describe features of the immune response that are
associated with resistance or susceptibility to R. equi
infection, and help guide strategies for developing… Show more
