研究了从临床材料中分离的9株猫和9株犬马红球菌的毒力相关抗原（VapA和VapB）和毒力质粒的存在。5个猫分离株和1个犬分离株为VapA阳性，含有85 kb I型或87 kb I型质粒。其余12株为无毒R. equi菌株，不含毒力质粒。
Nine cat isolates and nine dog isolates of Rhodococcus equi from clinical material were investigated for the presence of the virulence-associated antigens (VapA and VapB) and virulence plasmids. Five of the cat isolates and one dog isolate were VapA positive and contained an 85-kb type I or an 87-kb type I plasmid. The remaining 12 isolates were avirulent R. equi strains and contained no virulence plasmids.
