Nocardia thailandica is a rare pathogen related to Nocardia asteroides, Nocardia neocaledoniensis, and Nocardia caishijiensis that, since its original description in 2004, has only been reported to cause wound and ocular infections in humans. We report a case of pulmonary nocardiosis caused by Nocardia thailandica in a 66-year-old solid organ transplant patient from Connecticut, which was ident...
Identification of clinical isolates of Nocardia to the species level is important for defining the spectrum of disease produced by each species and for predicting antimicrobial susceptibility. We evaluated the usefulness of PCR amplification of a portion of the Nocardia 16S rRNA gene and subsequent restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) for species identification. Unique restriction fragment l...
Nocardia veterana is a recently characterized species within the genus Nocardia, and only three human clinical isolates have been reported for this species. We describe a case of ascitic fluid infection in an immunocompromised patient due to N. veterana. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a Nocardia sp. strain from ascitic fluid and the fourth report of N. veterana isolated from huma...
Background : Identification of Nocardia spp. in routine medical laboratories is based on phenotypic methods that is often time- consuming. The objective of this study was to diagnose Nocardia agents by PCR technique in BAL samples of patients with suspected tuberculosis admitted to hospitals in Tehran. Materials and Methods: In this study, 116 BAL samples of patients admitted in Baqiyatallah, I...
Nocardia spp. are rarely isolated in extrapulmonary clinical specimens. We describe the first case of olecranon bursitis caused by Nocardia asiatica. The patient, a traveler returning from Thailand, was successfully treated with linezolid.
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...
Background & Aims: Nocardia asteroides is gram-positive, partially acid-fast, aerobic actinomycetes which cause a wide range of skin infections, and pulmonary, cerebral, and ocular infection. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old man with diabetes presented with ocular ulcers in 2015. Through the medical records evaluation, physical examination, and biochemical evaluation of the patient, Nocardia as...
Pericarditis with hemodynamic compromise is a rare manifestation of infection with Nocardia asteroides. To our knowledge, only six cases have been reported previously. In contrast to other cases of pericardial disease due to Nocardia, culture of the pericardial fluid in our case was negative while culture of pericardial tissue led to the diagnosis. Surgical intervention and appropriate antibiot...
Presence of fungal agents in lesions of two patients in Tehran was studied. One of them had clinical symptoms of mycetoma in his foot, and the other had a skin infection in his arm. Examination of the lesions indicated Nocardia asteroides. These patients did not show any evidence of nocardia infection in other parts of the body. Negative results were obtained from the cultures of blood and...
© 2017 Advanced Biomedical Research | Published by Wolters Kluwer Medknow Sir, We read with interest article that published (Adv Biomed Res 2014; 3:151) by Faghri J et al. entitled *comparison of three phenotypic and deoxyribonucleic acid extraction methods for isolation and Identification of Nocardia spp.* however, authors and researchers should be noted that: 1. According to the literature, N...
