Universal and Lineage‐Specific Patterns in the Distribution of ECOD Domain Homology Groups Across Superkingdoms

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1644-1657, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.

When to consider an inborn error of immunity: clues for physicians

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 56, Issue 9, Page 1488-1499, September 2026.
Abstract The term inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) refers to the rapidly expanding group of genetic disorders causing dysregulation of the immune system. With improved genetic testing in recent years, the number of defined IEIs and their range of phenotypic presentations has grown vastly, with more than 550 IEIs now described.

Bioaerosol assessment of indoor air in hospital wards for isolation of Nocardia species from a tertiary care hospital in Iranshahr, Iran

New Microbes and New Infections
Background: Bioaerosols can be a critical role in the transmission of hospital-acquired infections. Nocardia species are opportunistic pathogens that primarily affect immunocompromised patients, accounting for approximately 1–2% of all hospital-acquired ...

The Case of a 40‐Year‐Old Man With New‐Onset Status Epilepticus in the Setting of HIV Infection

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 8, Page 1736-1739, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A 40‐year‐old man from Andhra Pradesh in India, while on regular antiretroviral treatment (ART) for long‐standing HIV infection presented with a 1‐day history of new‐onset status epilepticus. CT and MRI brain showed multifocal cerebral ring lesions, some of which demonstrated characteristic ‘hole‐with‐a‐dot’ sign.

The Importance of Gram-stained Smears in the Diagnosis of Nocardia Infections Nocardia Enfeksiyonlarının Tanısında Gram Boyanmış Yaymaların Önemi

, 2023
Nocardia species are low virulence bacteria found in nature. They can be an infectious agent, especially in patients with risk factors such as underlying immunosuppression, chronic lung disease, and malignancy.

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.

Effects of Timing of Microbial Exposure on Microbiome Assembly and Amphibian Immune Development

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We used a novel amphibian gnotobiotic system to investigate how disruptions to the microbiome during critical developmental periods influence microbial assembly and the development of immunity. We found that antimicrobial treatments of embryos and subsequent introduction to microbes at different developmental stages altered microbiome assembly ...
