چکیده
Nocardia cyriacigeorgica has recently been described as an "emerging" pathogen. However, DNA-DNA hybridization results confirm that Nocardia asteroides drug pattern type VI, which has long been recognized as a common and significant pathogen in the United States, belongs to the species N. cyriacigeorgica.

Nocardia cyriacigeorgica--an established rather than an emerging pathogen.
In their recent report, Schlaberg et al. declare Nocardia cyriacigeorgica to be an “emerging pathogen” (3). However, no evidence is provided to support this claim. They refer to the review by Millar and Moore (2) for a definition of “an emerging pathogenic entity” but do not specify into which of the categories of emerging and reemerging pathogens distinguished by these authors they would place...
متن کاملNocardia cyriacigeorgica, an emerging pathogen in the United States.
Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is recognized as an emerging pathogen in many parts of the world. We present the first case description of invasive N. cyriacigeorgica pulmonary infection in the United States identified to the species level by 16S rRNA and hsp65 sequence analysis. A subsequent retrospective molecular screening of recent Nocardia clinical isolates at our New York City medical center yie...
متن کاملClinical and laboratory features of the Nocardia spp. based on current molecular taxonomy.
The recent explosion of newly described species of Nocardia results from the impact in the last decade of newer molecular technology, including PCR restriction enzyme analysis and 16S rRNA sequencing. These molecular techniques have revolutionized the identification of the nocardiae by providing rapid and accurate identification of recognized nocardiae and, at the same time, revealing new speci...
متن کاملGenetic diversity and antimicrobial susceptibility of Nocardia species among patients with nocardiosis
The aim of this multicenter study was to determine the genetic diversity and antibiotic susceptibility of clinically isolated Nocardia species. One hundred twenty-seven patients with nocardiosis were randomly selected from 5 provinces of Iran. Molecular diagnosis of Nocardia species was performed using multilocus sequence analysis of gyrase B of the β subunit of DNA topoisomerase (gyrB), and 16...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility among clinical Nocardia species identified by multilocus sequence analysis.
Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of 112 clinical isolates, 28 type strains, and 9 reference strains of Nocardia were determined using the Sensititre Rapmyco microdilution panel (Thermo Fisher, Inc.). Isolates were identified by highly discriminatory multilocus sequence analysis and were chosen to represent the diversity of species recovered from clinical specimens in Ontario, Canada. Susce...
