Breast Abscess by Nocardia

The Breast Journal, 2012
A 69-year-old woman reported the appearance of a painful lump in the lower outer quadrant of right breast for 10 days. The patient had history of relapsing uveitis poorly responsive to therapy, thus she underwent high-dose steroid therapy for about 6 months.

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 ...

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.

Universal and Lineage‐Specific Patterns in the Distribution of ECOD Domain Homology Groups Across Superkingdoms

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.

16S/18S metabarcoding versus culture for aetiological assessment in infectious keratitis: A prospective paired‐sample study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Infectious keratitis (IK) is a vision‐threatening condition with diverse microbial aetiologies, yet conventional culture‐based diagnostics often have limited sensitivity. We investigated whether 16S/18S rRNA amplicon‐based next‐generation sequencing (NGS) can enhance aetiological assessment when used alongside standard microbiological ...
