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.4468-4470engArtigo10.1128/JCM.41.9.4468-4470.2003WOS:000185246800080Acesso abertoWOS000185246800080.pdf
