Disseminated Rhodococcus equi infection in a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with immunotherapy

IDCases
Immunotherapies can lead to an immune compromised state that can allow for opportunistic pathogens such as Rhodococcus to flourish. The vast majority of Rhodococcus infections occur in immunocompromised hosts.

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0132c Gene Product Mtb‐FGD2 Can Act as an F420‐Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

Rhodococcus equi infection

Vojnosanitetski pregled, 2006
<zakljucak> Humana R. equi infekcija jos uvek je retko oboljenje koje se javlja uglavnom kod osoba sa teskim stepenom imunodeficijencije. Najcesce se ispoljava u vidu subakutne bakterijske pneumonije sa kavitacijama, a karakterise se cestim recidivima, bakterijemijama i visokom stopom mortaliteta. Terapija R.

Microbial Strategies for the Degradation of Spent Lubricating Oil: A Comparative Study of Isolate Bacterium and Consortium Cultures

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This show the biodegradation of spent lubricating oil by Bacillus sp. and a marine bacterial consortium. The consortium showed higher growth, biosurfactant production and oil removal efficiency than the isolated strain, highlighting its potential for bioremediation ABSTRACT Spent automotive lubricating oil contains complex hydrocarbons and heavy metals,

Recombinant Protein Expression in Rhodococcus species

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Producing recombinant bacterial proteins is essential for elucidating their structure and function, making efficient overexpression systems a key requirement. Escherichia coli is widely used for this purpose, particularly for bacterial proteins, but certain targets remain challenging to express or obtain as soluble protein.

Intratumor Rhodococcus sp. B513 drives DEN-induced hepatocellular carcinoma progression by modulating gut microbiota and angiogenesis

Current Research in Microbial Sciences
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide with challenging clinical treatment. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that gut dysbiosis promotes HCC progression, and intratumoral bacteria play an ...

Intratumoral Microbiota in Tumor: Current Understandings and Future Perspectives

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Intratumoral bacteria are emerging as active regulators of cancer evolution rather than bystanders. This review outlines how tumor‐resident microbes drive tumor initiation and growth by inducing genomic instability, epigenetic reprogramming, oncogenic signaling, and chronic inflammation, while promoting metastatic spread via invasion, angiogenesis ...

HaloTag Fusion Enables Dynamic Analysis of Prion Protein Biosynthesis, Turnover, and Misfolding

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Prion protein (PrP) misfolding underlies fatal neurodegenerative diseases. We developed a HaloTag‐based PrP fusion enabling spatiotemporal labeling of distinct PrP populations in living cells. This system recapitulates native PrP biology, reveals early misfolding events in disease‐associated mutants, and allows mechanistic interrogation of PrP‐lowering
