A CRISPR-Cas12a-Assisted Fluorescence Platform for Rapid and Accurate Detection of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Nocardia cyriacigeorgica has gradually become a common pathogen in clinical microbial infections. Identification of Nocardia at the species level is essential to assess the susceptibility and pathogenicity of antimicrobials. However, there is no suitable

Disseminated Nocardia beijingensis Infection in an Immunocompetent Patient

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2020
Nocardia is a genus of aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming filamentous branching bacteria with fragmentation into bacillary or coccoid forms. Infections caused by Nocardia often occur in immunocompromised hosts and are potentially life-threatening.

Changes in the microbiome and metabolome in captive red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus) affected by macropod progressive periodontal disease

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Macropod progressive periodontal disease (MPPD) is a severe oral condition frequently observed in captive macropods, particularly red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus), yet its underlying biological features remain poorly understood. In this exploratory descriptive study, we investigated oral and fecal microbiomes and metabolomic profiles in captive red ...
