متن کاملdisseminated nocardiosis in an immunocompetent individual infected with nocardia brasiliensis, an opportunistic agent
conclusions combination therapy with surgical excision has a synergistic effect and appears to be the best treatment for extended lesions. however, new potent antibacterial drugs may help to improve the management of such infections when there are sufficient data on their in vitro activity. introduction nocardia species are described as opportunistic pathogens that mainly cause pulmonary nocard...
متن کاملInactivation of rifampin by Nocardia brasiliensis.
Rifampin was glycosylated by a pathogenic species of Nocardia, i.e., Nocardia brasiliensis. The structures of two glycosylated compounds (RIP-1 and RIP-2) isolated from the culture broth of the bacterium were determined to be 3-formyl-23-(O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl])rifamycin SV and 23-(O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl])rifampin, respectively. Both compounds lacked antimicrobial activity against other gr...
متن کاملDisseminated Nocardia Brasiliensis Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient.
A novel therapeutic approach for Nocardia infections is presented. We report the successful treatment of lymphocutaneous nocardiosis with a three-drug combination in an immunocompromised patient with in vitro susceptibility testing used to guide therapy. New therapeutic options are required in some patients due to their failure to respond to the treatment of choice, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazol...
متن کاملNocardia brasiliensis Infection Complicating Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia
Pulmonary nocardiosis is a severe and uncommon opportunistic infection caused by Nocardia species. We present a patient with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia who was receiving long-term immunosuppressive therapy, whose treatment course was complicated by cutaneous and pulmonary nocardiosis. Tissue cultures confirmed Nocardia brasiliensis. Nocardiosis should be a diagnostic consideration for pat...
