Diagnostics to support mycetoma management—Development of two target product profiles

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 27, Issue 12, Page 1059-1064, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease caused by more than 70 different microorganisms and identified by the WHO as one of the high‐priority diseases for developing diagnostic tests. To ensure the production of diagnostic assays for use by clinical staff in endemic regions, target product profiles (TPPs) were designed.

New hope for Parkinson's disease treatment: Targeting gut microbiota

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 1675-1688, November 2022., 2022
We reviewed the relationship between Parkinson's disease and gut bacteria, especially Helicobacter pylori, Enterococcus faecalis, and Desulfovibrio. At the same time, three kinds of dialogue mechanisms between brain and gut are also discussed. Finally, three potential interventions for gut microbiota are discussed.

Hepatopathy in Victorian dogs consuming pet meat contaminated with indospicine

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 100, Issue 10, Page 465-475, October 2022., 2022
Background Indospicine is an arginine analogue and a natural toxin occurring only in Indigofera plant species, including Australian native species. It accumulates in the tissues of grazing animals, persisting for several months after ingestion. Dogs are particularly sensitive to indospicine toxicity and can suffer fatal liver disease after eating ...

Genetic recombination in Nocardia asteroides [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1982
Gene recombination between strains of Nocardia asteroides of diverse origins has been demonstrated. In particular pairwise combinations, recombinants made up 0.01% of the population. All nine selectable recombinant classes were recovered from a cross KK4-47 his-10 leu-1 and KK6-119 met-3 phe-3.

Rare case of aspergillus brain abscess in an immunocompromised patient

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Early diagnosis and aggressive antifungal therapy accompanied by neuronavigation‐guided surgery can increase the chance of recovery in immunosuppressed patients with aspergillus brain abscess. Abstract We present a case of aspergillus brain abscess in a 48‐year‐old woman with a history of kidney transplantation and no underlying central nervous system (

Nocardia kroppenstedtii sp. nov., a novel actinomycete isolated from a lung transplant patient with a pulmonary infection [PDF]

, 2014
An actinomycete, strain N1286T, isolated from a lung transplant patient with a pulmonary infection, was provisionally assigned to the genus Nocardia. The strain had chemotaxonomic and morphological properties typical of members of the genus Nocardia and ...

Comparison of Actinobacteria communities from human‐impacted and pristine karst caves

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
hsp65 Marker as a complement to 16S rRNA gene in Actinobacteria community detection with the metabarcoding approach. Some Actinobacteria species were detected for the first time in caves.Taxa related to rare opportunistic pathogens detected in anthropized caves. Streptomyces were detected in marked areas of Lascaux caves.

Characterization of a dszEABC operon providing fast growth on dibenzothiophene and construction of broad‐host‐range biodesulfurization catalysts

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1946-1963, April 2022., 2022
Summary A new operon for biodesulfurization (BDS) of dibenzothiophene and derivatives has been isolated from a metagenomic library made from oil‐contaminated soil, by selecting growth of E. coli on DBT as the sulfur source. This operon is similar to a dszEABC operon also isolated by metagenomic functional screening but exhibited substantial differences:
