Nocardia sputum staining [PDF]
QJM, 2013 An 85-year-old man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) visited our hospital with cough and sputum expectoration for the past 3 days. His home had been undergoing remodeling for the past 1 month. His respiration rate was 18 breaths/min; body temperature 37.4°C and SpO2 95% (nasal cannula: 2 l/min). Coarse crackles …

Comparative genomic analyses reveal a lack of a substantial signature of host adaptation in Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) [PDF]
, 2013 Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) is a pathogenic actinomycete primarily infecting horses but has emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen. We have sequenced the genome of the type strain of this species, R.

A Comparison of Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1959 SUMMARY: A description of Nocardia asteroides (Eppinger) Blanchard, based on the examination of 98 strains, is presented and compared with a description of N. brasiliensis (Lindenberg) Castellani and Chalmers, based on 50 strains. Characteristics common to freshly isolated strains, variants of the same strain, and old stock strains are used in the ...

Structure and Mechanism of PhdC, a Prenylated‐Flavin Maturase
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) is a modified flavin cofactor required by the UbiD family of (de)carboxylase enzymes. While the reduced prFMNH2 form is produced by the flavin prenyltransferase UbiX, the corresponding two‐electron oxidized prFMNiminium form is required to support UbiD catalysis. Thus, oxidative maturation of prFMNH2 is

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.
