Haemolytic Rhodococcus equi Isolated from a Swine Lymph Node with Granulomatous Lesions.
Rhodococcus equi is generally thought to be non-haemolytic although some earlier investigations reported minor haemolytic activity. A case of a haemolytic R. equi isolate from a swine lymph node with granulomatous lesions is described. This is a new contribution to knowledge of the cultural properties of R. equi.
