Nocardia abscessus brain abscess in an immunocompetent host

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2013
Summary: Nocardia brain abscesses typically occur in immunocompromised patients. Most cases of nocardiosis are caused by the Nocardia asteroides complex and Nocardia brasiliensis. Here, we present a patient with a Nocardia abscessus brain abscess.

A case report of brain abscess caused by Nocardia farcinica

European Journal of Medical Research, 2021
Background Brain abscess due to the Nocardia genus is rarely reported and it is usually found in immunocompromised patients. Treatment of Nocardia brain abscess is troublesome and requires consideration of the severity of the underlying systemic disease.

Comparative Genomics and Metabolomics in the Genus Nocardia

mSystems, 2020
Our work emphasizes that Nocardia represent a prolific source for natural products rivaling better-characterized genera such as Streptomyces or Amycolatopsis. Furthermore, we showed that large-scale analysis of biosynthetic gene clusters using similarity
