Coinfection by Nocardia beijingensis and Nocardia arthritidis in an immunocompromised patient diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2014
2 different strains of Nocardia were isolated from a lung mass in a post kidney-pancreas transplant patient through convex endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TNBA).

Nocardia polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay performed on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid after lung transplantation: A prospective pilot study

PLoS ONE, 2019
Background Transplant recipients are at risk of pulmonary nocardiosis, a life-threatening opportunistic infection caused by Nocardia species. Given the limitations of conventional diagnostic techniques (i.e., microscopy and culture), a polymerase chain ...

Diagnostic Dilemma in a Case of Anti‐PL‐7 Antibody‐Positive Interstitial Lung Disease: When Autoimmune Alveolar Proteinosis Masquerades as Anti‐Synthetase Syndrome

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and anti‐PL‐7 antibody‐positive interstitial lung disease (ILD) share early radiographic similarities, yet their treatments differ significantly. This article reports a rare case of dual anti‐PL‐7 and anti‐GM‐CSF autoantibody positivity, initially misdiagnosed as anti‐synthetase syndrome due to interstitial ...

Plant‐Based Mycetoma Inhibitors Targeting the 50S Ribosomal Protein of Nocardia brasiliensis: In Silico Approach

ChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 21, June 4, 2025.
In‐silico drug discovery pipeline for Mycetoma caused by Nocardia brasiliensis. A library of 1034 phytocompounds was screened to identify potent inhibitors, with Parviflorone F showing strong binding and stability against the 50S ribosomal unit. Molecular dynamics confirmed its inhibitory potential, offering a promising therapeutic candidate.

Immunocompetent patient with a brain abscess caused by Nocardia beijingensis in Latin America

Medicine, 2019
Rationale: Nocardia species are not commonly referred as primary infectious entities but rather as opportunistic pathogens. Infectious cases of Nocardia spp. in immunocompetent individuals are rare.

Amoeba plate test with Acanthamoeba castellanii as an innovative tool for Nocardia recovery from sputum samples: a proof-of-concept study

Microbiology Spectrum
Nocardia recovery from pulmonary samples is challenging due to the lack of a specific medium and the abundance of overgrown respiratory flora. This study aimed to compare the amoeba plate test (APT), an amoebic coculture with Acanthamoeba castellanii ...
