Whole-genome sequencing and pathogenicity analysis of Rhodococcus equi isolated in horses

Abstract Background Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) is a Gram-positive zoonotic pathogen that frequently leads to illness and death in young horses (foals). This study presents the complete genome sequence of R. equi strain BJ13, which was isolated from a thoroughbred racehorse breeding farm in Beijing,...
