A Comparison of Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1959 SUMMARY: A description of Nocardia asteroides (Eppinger) Blanchard, based on the examination of 98 strains, is presented and compared with a description of N. brasiliensis (Lindenberg) Castellani and Chalmers, based on 50 strains. Characteristics common to freshly isolated strains, variants of the same strain, and old stock strains are used in the ...

Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis infections in mice [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1976 A model for Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis infections in Swiss white mice has been established without the addition to the inocula of any form of adjuvant. Serial histopathological studies revealed that these two actinomycetes cause lesions that are quite different in their features. An acute suppurative abscess characterizes the lesions

Inactivation of rifampin by Nocardia brasiliensis [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1993 Rifampin was glycosylated by a pathogenic species of Nocardia, i.e., Nocardia brasiliensis. The structures of two glycosylated compounds (RIP-1 and RIP-2) isolated from the culture broth of the bacterium were determined to be 3-formyl-23-(O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl])rifamycin SV and 23-(O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl])rifampin, respectively.

A FATAL PULMONARY INFECTION BY NOCARDIA BRASILIENSIS [PDF]
Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2006 The reported case is of primary pulmonary nocardiosis, caused by Nocardia brasiliensis, in a immunocompromised patient, which ended fatally despite appropriate treatment. The partially acid fast filamentous bacterium was predominant on direct examination of the sputum. It was cultured on blood agar, MacConkey agar and by paraffin baiting technique. The

Monoclonal antibodies to Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis antigens [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990 Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis whole-cell extracts were used as antigens to generate monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Six stable hybrid cell lines secreting anti-Nocardia spp. MAbs were obtained. These were characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blot (immunoblot), and immunofluorescence assay.

Antifungal Activity of Natural Naphthoquinones and Anthraquinones against Madurella mycetomatis
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Eumycetoma, the fungal form of the neglected tropical disease mycetoma, is a crippling infectious disease with low response rates to currently available antifungal drugs. In this study, a series of natural naphthoquinones and anthraquinones was evaluated for their activity against Madurella mycetomatis, which is the most common causative agent

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.
