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

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.

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 ...

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
