Autochthonous Nocardia cerradoensis Infection in Humans, Spain, 2011 and 2014.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nocardia cerradoensis was first isolated in 2003 in the El Cerrado region of Brazil; since then, only 2 human infections, in France and Spain, have been reported. We describe 3 autochthonous cases in residents of Spain during 2011 and 2014. Together these cases support the idea of an emerging global pathogenic microorganism.

First Draft Genome Sequence of a Clinical Strain of Nocardia cerradoensis
This paper reports the first draft genome sequence for a strain of Nocardia cerradoensis obtained from an immunocompetent patient with a knee infection. The 8.2-Mb genome has 8,329 coding sequences, including intrinsic resistance genes, biosynthetic gene clusters for polyketide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthase, virulence genes, and prophages.

21 Herein we report the first human disseminated infection with Nocardia cerradoensis in a 22 renal transplant patient, and isolated after a brain biopsy. Species identification was based 23 on 16S rRNA, gyrB and hsp65 gene analyses. Antibiotic treatment was successful by 24 combining carbapenems and aminoglycosides, before switching to oral trimethoprim25 sulfamethoxazole. 26

متن کاملFirst Report of the Isolation of Nocardia thailandica from the Bronchoalveolar Lavage of a Patient in Iran
Nocardiae are Gram-positive, filamentous, aerobic, relatively slow-growing, and weakly acid-fast bacteria which cause nocardiosis in humans. We describe a 53-year-old patient with chronic bronchitis referred to Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan. A bronchial washing sample was taken from the patient. A Nocardia-like microorganism was detected in microscopic evaluation. Based on the phenotypic and 16S r...
متن کاملFirst Case of Actinomycetoma in France Due to a Novel Nocardia Species, Nocardia boironii sp. nov.
Bacterial mycetoma is a neglected disease mainly observed in tropical area countries and typically associated with rural conditions, making its presence in developed countries of temperate climate areas rare. However, we report the first case of an autochthonous mycetoma case in continental France that originated from a new Nocardia species. A Gram-positive filamentous bacterium (OFN 14.177T) w...
