Quantitative aspects of fecal Rhodococcus (Corynebacterium) equi in newborn foals for 12 weeks after birth were investigated on two horse breeding farms. R. equi was found in the feces of foals during week 1 of life. The greatest numbers of R. equi were present in the feces of foals during the first 8 weeks of their lives, which coincides with the age when foals are most liable to be exposed to R. equi.
在两个养马场对新生马驹出生后12周内粪便中马红球菌(棒状杆菌属)的定量情况进行了调查。在马驹出生后第1周的粪便中发现了马红球菌。马红球菌数量最多的时候是在马驹出生后的前8周,这与马驹最容易接触到马红球菌的年龄相吻合。
