Nocardia infections in the transplanted host [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2016
AbstractBackgroundNocardia are uncommon pathogens that disproportionately afflict the immunocompromised host. Epidemiology and outcome data of Nocardia infections in transplant recipients are limited.MethodsWe performed a retrospective chart review of all patients at Duke University Hospital with a history of solid organ transplant (SOT) or ...

A landscape of epidemiology and strain distribution of Nocardia in China [PDF]

Biosafety and Health
Nocardiosis is an uncommon infection that can cause severe damage or be life-threatening. However, the epidemiology and strain distribution of nocardiosis in China remain poorly characterized.

A Case of Disseminated Nocardiosis due to Nocardia otitidiscaviarum With Pulmonary Infection and a Thyroid Abscess [PDF]

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nocardia otitidiscaviarum is a rare pathogen worldwide compared with other Nocardia species. Although Nocardia infections occur mainly in immunocompromised individuals and typically involve lungs and skin, cases in immunocompetent hosts have also been reported in recent years.

Multi-year population-based study of the clinical and epidemiological risk factors for mortality in nocardiosis: survival analysis from a large regional Canadian healthcare region [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Nocardiae are ubiquitous environmental soil pathogens that primarily cause invasive infections by inhalation or direct skin inoculation in immunocompromised patients. This multi-year population-based study compared epidemiological and clinical

First Report of Mycobacterium bovis and Nocardia spp. Co-Infection in a Roan Antelope [PDF]

Animals
Nocardia spp. and Mycobacterium spp. are known etiological agents of granulomatous pulmonary infections in humans and animals; however, co-infections involving these pathogens have not previously been reported in veterinary medicine. This paper describes

An Unusual Case of Cutaneous Nocardia cyriacigeorgica Infection Assuming the Appearance of Shingles [PDF]

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases
Nocardia 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

Molecular mechanisms underlying Nocardia host interactions [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Nocardia species are opportunistic pathogens that cause localized and disseminated infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Despite their clinical importance, the molecular mechanisms underlying Nocardia pathogenicity remain ...

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing provides prognostic warning by identifying mixed infections in nocardiosis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Nocardia is an opportunistic pathogen that mainly involves immunosuppressed patients and causes a high mortality rate. As an emerging approach to detect infectious pathogens, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was reported in the detection of ...
