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.

Rapid Serological Detection of Anti‐GM‐CSF Autoantibodies in Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Using a Novel Immunochromatographic Test

Respirology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 184-192, February 2026.
We developed a novel ICT with high clinical performance that can distinguish APAP patients from those with other pulmonary diseases. The rapid and simple detection of GMAbs in serum provided a new practical method for the diagnosis of APAP. See related editorial ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Anti‐GM‐CSF autoantibodies (GMAbs) are essential ...
