Rhodococcus equi is an opportunistic soil-borne bacterium that is eliminated in feces of multi-host animals. An increase in multidrug-resistant R. equi isolates has been reported in humans and domestic animals, and it has been hypothesized that the treatment of R.

- Rhodococcus is a soil-borne bacterium linked to infections in multiple animals, and its prevalence in humans is increasing, posing a public health risk, especially for vulnerable populations.
- A study examined feces from 200 nondiarrheic cats in urban and rural areas, resulting in the recovery of a small number of Rhodococcus isolates, primarily from cats with a history of contact with horses.
- The research also identified various enteropathogenic bacteria in the cats, highlighting potential public health concerns since Rhodococcus has been known to affect both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent individuals, including those with HIV/AIDS.
Mycobacterium species and the virulence-associated proteins (vapA, vapB, and vapN genes) of Rhodococcus equi isolated from 330 lymph nodes of collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu) and white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) intended for human consumption were investigated. Thirty-six (10.9%) R.
