Nocardia 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 کاملOrganisms designated as Nocardia asteroides drug pattern type VI are members of the species Nocardia cyriacigeorgica.
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.
متن کاملNocardia 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 کاملMolecular identification and thermoresistance to boiling of Nocardia farcinica and Nocardia cyriacigeorgica from bovine bulk tank milk
Two strains of Nocardia spp. were isolated from bovine milk of two individual bulk tank. Molecular identification classified the strains as Nocardia farcinica and Nocardia cyriacigeorgica. The thermorresistance to boiling of the isolates was carried out and was observed bacterial growth after boiling. Our findings indicate the potential risk of pathogen transmission to humans through contaminat...
متن کاملNocardia cyriacigeogica from Bovine Mastitis Induced In vitro Apoptosis of Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells via Activation of Mitochondrial-Caspase Pathway
Nocardia is one of the causing agents of bovine mastitis and increasing prevalence of nocardial mastitis in shape of serious outbreaks has been reported from many countries. However, the mechanisms by which this pathogen damages the bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) is not yet studied. Therefore, this study was designed with the aim to evaluate the apoptotic effects elicited by Nocardia a...
