  • Title: Rhodococcus equi causing human pulmonary infection: review of 29 cases.
    Author: Lasky JA, Pulkingham N, Powers MA, Durack DT.
    Journal: South Med J; 1991 Oct; 84(10):1217-20. PubMed ID: 1925723.
    Abstract:
    Rhodococcus equi is a gram-positive pleomorphic bacillus that has been identified as a life-threatening pulmonary pathogen in the immunocompromised host. Infection with R equi may go unrecognized by physicians unacquainted with its presentation and unaware of the organism's ability to mimic diphtheroids and to stain weakly positive with an acid-fast stain.
