Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Health
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Foals are susceptible to Rhodococcus equi infections shortly after birth.
  • Subclinical pneumonia affects most foals, while 20-30% develop clinical pneumonia requiring treatment.
  • Antimicrobial treatment of subclinical cases has driven the development of resistant bacterial strains.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinically relevant research on Rhodococcus equi infections in foals published over the last decade.
  • To discuss the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in Rhodococcus equi.
  • To evaluate alternative treatment and prevention strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of research published in the past 10 years.
  • Analysis of studies on screening programs, antimicrobial treatments, and hyperimmune plasma administration.
  • Synthesis of findings related to foal pneumonia and Rhodococcus equi resistance.

Main Results:

  • Screening and treatment programs have inadvertently led to resistant Rhodococcus equi strains.
  • R equi-specific hyperimmune plasma reduces pneumonia severity in foals.
  • Hyperimmune plasma administration does not appear to prevent Rhodococcus equi infection.

Conclusions:

  • Targeted treatment programs are essential to manage Rhodococcus equi infections and mitigate antimicrobial resistance.
  • Hyperimmune plasma is a beneficial adjunct therapy for reducing pneumonia severity in foals.
  • Further research into effective, non-antimicrobial strategies is warranted.
