Case Report: Diagnosis of Nocardia asteroides infection using metagenomic next-generation sequencing of lymph node puncture tissue [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine
The Nocardia genus is an aerobic, Gram positive, opportunistic pathogen that primarily affects cell-mediated immunosuppressed patients. The clinical manifestation of nocardiosis varies widely, making it challenging to diagnose.

Pleurésie purulente à Nocardia asteroides [PDF]

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2014
La pleurésie purulente à Nocardia asteroides est rare. Elle survient le plus souvent sur un terrain d'immunodépression. Nous rapportons une observation d'une pleurésie à Nocardia asteroides chez une patiente âgée de 60 ans, chez qui nous avons découvert ...

Efficient biodegradation of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate by a novel strain Nocardia asteroides LMB-7 isolated from electronic waste soil [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) degrading strain LMB-7 was isolated from electronic waste soil. According to its biophysical/biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA gene analysis, the strain was identified as Nocardia asteroides.

NCY-1 β-Lactamase Activity Correlates With Antimicrobial Susceptibility of a Clinical Strain of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
This study shows a strong correlation between the β‐lactam susceptibility profile of a clinical isolate of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica and the activity of its β‐lactamase, NCY‐1. Inhibitors of NCY‐1 reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration of amoxicillin.

Case Report of a Solitary Brain Abscess due to <i>Nocardia veterana</i> in a Host Without Known Immunodeficiency. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Nocardiosis is a rare bacterial infection caused by a wide array of species of the genus Nocardia. These microbes are found ubiquitously in soil and cause infection mainly when immunocompromised hosts inhale these bacteria or from direct inoculation through breaks in the skin. Once infection is established, Nocardia spp.

<i>Nocardia</i> Infection Presented as Intramuscular Abscess in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]

Case Rep Nephrol
Background Nocardia is a gram‐positive bacterium capable of causing both local and systemic infections, typically in immunocompromised patients. The most common clinical presentation is pulmonary infection. Muscle abscess due to Nocardia infection without disseminated nocardiosis is rare.

An Unusual Case of Cutaneous <i>Nocardia cyriacigeorgica</i> Infection Assuming the Appearance of Shingles. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Nocardia is an opportunistic organism that commonly infects the lungs of the immunocompromised and can cause disseminated infections. Diagnosis of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is through culture and susceptibilities, aided by 16S rRNA sequencing. We report a case of a shingles‐like rash eruption due to Nocardia cyriacigeorgica in a 69‐year‐old patient with

Concurrent Nocardia, Cryptococcus and Mycobacterium Infections Unmask Anti–GM‐CSF Antibody–Associated Immunodeficiency and Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis: A Case Report [PDF]

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases
Anti‐granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (anti‐GM‐CSF) antibodies, classically associated with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), are increasingly recognised as a cause of adult‐onset immunodeficiency predisposing to opportunistic infections. Coinfections with multiple opportunistic pathogens in this context are uncommon.

Pulmonary Nocardia otitidiscaviarum in immunocompetent individuals: a case series and literature review [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Nocardia are filamentous, Gram-positive, aerobic bacteria widely distributed in diverse environments. Nocardia otitidiscaviarum, first isolated from the middle ear of guinea pigs, is an opportunistic pathogen. Nocardia primarily infects immunocompromised
