Nocardia brasiliensis-associated femorotibial osteomyelitis [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014
We report a case of femorotibial osteomyelitis due to Nocardia brasiliensis. Nocardia spp are a rare cause of bone infections, and the majority of such cases are associated with the spine. This type of osteomyelitis is uncommon, and in the immunocompetent host, is more often related to a chronic evolution following direct inoculation of the ...

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

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

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.

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 ...

Identification of Nocardia and non‐tuberculous Mycobacterium species by MALDI‐TOF MS using the VITEK MS coupled to IVD and RUO databases

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 778-783, April 2023., 2023
A standardized, MALDI‐TOF based, commercial method for the rapid identification of Nocardia and non‐tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) isolates has been evaluated. The method allowed 95.6% and 90.6% correct species‐level identification for Nocardia and NTM, respectively.

Sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous pattern in a fish‐merchant under immunosuppressant medications: Clues to differential diagnoses

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Sporotrichoid‐lymphocutaneous‐pattern is classically seen in sporotrichosis, though also present in other infections like atypical mycobacteriosis and leishmaniasis. Cutaneous atypical mycobacterial infection presents as localized lesions in immunocompetent and is widespread in immunosuppressed patients.

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.
