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

Phenolic Substitution in Fidaxomicin: A Semisynthetic Approach to Antibiotic Activity Across Species**

ChemBioChem, Volume 24, Issue 24, December 14, 2023., 2023
Doin’ the right thing: Fidaxomicin (Fdx) constitutes a potent antibiotic with a formidable power against menacing bacteria like Clostridioides difficile and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Chemical synthesis of different substitution patterns on fidaxomicin resulted in specific antibiotic activity across species.

Microplastic polymer properties as deterministic factors driving terrestrial plastisphere microbiome assembly and succession in the field

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 12, Page 2681-2697, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Environmental microplastic (MP) is ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems providing artificial habitats for microbes. Mechanisms of MP colonization, MP polymer impacts, and effects on soil microbiomes are largely unknown in terrestrial systems.

Multiple infections of zoonotic pathogens in wild Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2201-2211, September 2023., 2023
Our research revealed the viral and bacterial diversity in wild Brandt's voles. The characterization and distinctive lineage of some rodent‐specific viruses (Cytomegalovirus, PestVs and Lentiviruses) and rodent‐borne bacteria (Leptospira interrogans and Vibrio cholerae) indicates that wild Brandt's voles may harbor a diversity of viruses and bacteria ...

A case of nocardiosis in a patient with ulcerative colitis on chronic corticosteroids, infliximab, and upadacitinib

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
We report a complex infection of Nocardiosis and C. difficile colitis that developed in a patient with ulcerative colitis in the setting of chronic immunosuppression and malnutrition. Key Clinical Message Immunosuppression, malnutrition, and underlying infection can unmask obscure infections which can be challenging to identify.

Bacterial diseases of tilapia, their zoonotic potential and risk of antimicrobial resistance

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue S1, Page 154-185, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Tilapia culture is an important source of income and nutrition to many rural families. Since 2000, the production of tilapia increased and reached domestic and global markets. Major farmed species is Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), in earthen ponds and cage cultures.

Closed Catheter Drainage for Klebsiella pneumoniae Empyema Necessitans

Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Empyema necessitans is a rare complication of pneumonia, which can be seen more frequently with tuberculosis (TB). In this case report, we include a 47‐year‐old female with empyema necessitans; closed drainage has been sought as a sole treatment based on the clinical presentation and radiological findings of an empyema necessitans. Scarce evidence with
