Disseminated Nocardia farcinica infection presenting as a paravertebral abscess in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2019
Disseminated Nocardia infections occur particularly in immunosuppressed hosts and are most often due to Nocardia farcinica, Nocardia nova, and Nocardia cyriacigeorgica. Here, we report an unusual case of disseminated N.

Widespread macrolide resistance among rapidly growing mycobacteria due to plasmids containing erm(55)

Scientific Reports
Macrolides (clarithromycin and azithromycin) are a mainstay of therapy for infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM). Historically, macrolide resistance in RGM species is associated with mutations in the 23S rRNA gene and chromosomal ...

Combinatorial Metabolic Engineering of Alkane Biosynthesis in the Osmotolerant Yeast Debaryomyces hansenii CBS 767

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Debaryomyces hansenii is a yeast with diverse potential applications like producing oleochemicals from biomass. Yet, combinatorial metabolic engineering in D. hansenii is limited because, like many nonconventional organisms, key genomic data and genetic elements are missing. Here, we report phenotypic characterization, genomic integration loci,

Challenges for interpreting results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing for treating infections of foals with Rhodococcus equi

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Rhodococcus equi is a facultative intracellular pathogen and a major cause of pneumonia in foals worldwide. The standard treatment for affected foals is a combination of a macrolide with rifampicin. The widespread use of this combination has led to the emergence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) strains of R. equi.

Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.
