BEVApod Focus: Emergence of multi-drug resistant Rhodococcus equi with Fleur Whitlock

What this episode covers

Fleur, EIDS epidemiologist, provides an overview of the 2023 Q4 Equine Quarterly Disease Surveillance Report Focus Article, authored by Jose Vazquez-Boland and his team at the University of Edinburgh. Given how we’ve managed R. equi infections over the years, it's not surprising that we're now confronted with a troubling silent pandemic of multi-resistance. Eradicating it once it establishes itself in a country will prove immensely challenging, emphasising the critical importance of surveillance contributions within the UK.
