Ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration cytology significantly improved mycetoma diagnosis

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 1845-1850, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Ultrasound (US)‐guided fine‐needle aspiration cytology (US‐FNAC) has improved the diagnosis of many malignancies, infections and other diseases as it is safe, simple, quick and accurate. In mycetoma, it is assumed that this technique may have a better diagnostic yield than the conventional FNAC as it can accurately identify the ...

Humoral response in a patient with cutaneous nocardiosis [PDF]

, 2000
The clinical appearance of infection due to Nocardia spp. varies widely. The law sensitivity of direct microscopy and the slow growth of the organism challenge the laboratory diagnosis.

Eumycotic mycetoma involving the right foot: A new Tunisian case

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
A Tunisian patient with painless swelling and discharging sinuses of the right foot was diagnosed with eumycetoma after 1 year of evolution. Mycetoma is a neglected disease relatively rare in our country. An early and accurate diagnosis, based on histopathological and microbiological examinations, limits functional and esthetical damage.

Antimicrobial potential of culturable actinobacteria isolated from the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas (Bivalvia, Ostreidae)

Journal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 133, Issue 2, Page 1099-1114, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Aims Explore the diversity of culturable actinobacteria isolated from the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas with special emphasis on their antimicrobial activity. Methods and Results For the characterization of the isolated actinobacteria, a polyphasic approach was adopted and thereby phenotypic descriptions, phylogenetic analysis, evaluations ...

Genomic analyses confirm close relatedness between Rhodococcus defluvii and Rhodococcus equi (Rhodococcus hoagii) [PDF]

, 2014
Rhodococcus defluvii strain Ca11T was isolated from a bioreactor involved in extensive phosphorus removal. We have sequenced the whole genome of this strain and our comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses confirm its close relatedness with ...

Mycetoma by Actinomadura madurae in the central nervous system: Renal transplant receptor disease

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
Renal transplant recipients have increased risk of invasive fungal infections. Transplant centers in geographic endemic risk areas should suspect the possibility of mycetoma infection in patients. This clinical entity is not commonly seen in the United States, and hence few cases have been reported.

Nocardia abscessus brain abscess in an immunocompetent host

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2013
Summary: Nocardia brain abscesses typically occur in immunocompromised patients. Most cases of nocardiosis are caused by the Nocardia asteroides complex and Nocardia brasiliensis. Here, we present a patient with a Nocardia abscessus brain abscess.

Comparative genomic analyses reveal a lack of a substantial signature of host adaptation in Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) [PDF]

, 2013
Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) is a pathogenic actinomycete primarily infecting horses but has emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen. We have sequenced the genome of the type strain of this species, R.

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.
