Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

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, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 365-375, June 2026.
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 ...

Genomic diversity of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica and Nocardia farcinica infections

Microbial Pathogenesis
The aim of this study was to investigate the genomic profiles of Nocardia. Three clinical Nocardia isolates were collected and conducted whole genome sequencing. Subsequently, 489 publicly available assemblies of Nocardia isolates were downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) public database and identified genetic ...

First report of a Buchananella hordeovulneris–associated pyothorax in a feline leukaemia virus‐positive cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 10‐month‐old, neutered, male domestic shorthair cat with outdoor access was presented with a thoracic wound, severe respiratory distress, cachexia, dehydration and pleural effusion. Imaging confirmed bilateral pyothorax. Haematology showed marked neutrophilia with left shift, mild anaemia, thrombocytopenia and lymphocytosis.
