Clinical Nocardia species: Identification, clinical characteristics, and antimicrobial susceptibility in Shandong, China

Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2020
Nocardia is a pathogen responsible for a variety of clinical infections. Here, we aimed to investigate the species distribution, clinical manifestations, and antimicrobial susceptibility of Nocardia species over 3 years in two tertiary general hospitals

NCY‐1 β‐Lactamase Activity Correlates With Antimicrobial Susceptibility of a Clinical Strain of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study shows a strong correlation between the β‐lactam susceptibility profile of a clinical isolate of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica and the activity of its β‐lactamase, NCY‐1. Inhibitors of NCY‐1 reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration of amoxicillin.

Emerging role of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing in infectious disease diagnostics: Clinical integration and future directions

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 148-163, April 2026.
Abstract Infectious disease diagnostics has been transformed by metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS), an unbiased approach that detects bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in a single assay. By sequencing all nucleic acids in a sample, mNGS overcomes the narrow detection scope and slow turnaround of conventional tests, substantially ...

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.

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.

Thoracic Actinomycosis: A Rare Cause of Pleural Thickening

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
We report a case of a man who presented with a chest wall mass and was found to have pleural thickening on PET, with features concerning for mesothelioma. Further investigation revealed a diagnosis of actinomyces, a rare infectious cause of pleural thickening.

Infections Complicating Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Study Emphasizing Graft-Related Septicemia [PDF]

, 1976
In 93 recipients of 102 orthotopic liver homografts, the incidence of bacteremia or fungemia exceeded 70%. The graft itself was usually an entry site for systemic infection after both immunologic and nonimmunologic parenchymal injury, especially if there

From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

Bacteremia and adrenal gland abscess due to Nocardia cyriacigeorgica: a case report and review

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is one of the most common Nocardia species found in human infections, recently reclassified. Even though Nocardia may affect all organs by hematogenous dissemination, bacteremia are uncommon.
