  • Title: Investigation of an apparent outbreak of Rhodococcus equi bacteremia.
    Author: Langer AJ, Feja K, Lasker BA, Hinrikson HP, Morey RE, Pellegrini GJ, Smith TL, Robertson C.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2010 May; 67(1):95-100. PubMed ID: 20385352.
    Abstract:
    During January to April 2007, hospital staff reported 3 patients with Rhodococcus equi bloodstream infections. Isolates were analyzed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, to confirm identification and to assess strain relatedness; 2 were R. equi but genetically distinct, and 1 was identified as Gordonia polyisoprenivorans. Rapid reference laboratory support prevented an unnecessary outbreak investigation.
