N2 - Nocardia asteroides is a rare pathogen in peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis. We report on a 13-year-old female with Nocardia asteroides peritonitis complicated by an intra-abdominal abscess. Linezolid was administered intravenously for 3 months and followed by oral therapy for an additional 5 months with close monitoring for adverse effects. The patient was discharged after 3 months of hospitalization on hemodialysis. The diagnosis and management of such cases can be problematic due to the slow growth and difficulty of identifying Nocardia species. The optimal duration of treatment for Nocardia peritonitis is not known. Linezolid can be used for prolonged periods in ...

Boltonia asteroides, commonly called false chamomile or false aster, is a rhizomatous perennial which typically grows to 5-6 tall on erect, usually branching stems clad with alternate, linear, lance-shaped, stalkless, gray-green leaves (to 5 long). Tiny, daisy-like flowers (to 3/4 diameter) in loose panicles typically cover this aster-like plant with a profuse bloom from late summer to early fall. Flowers typically have white rays with yellow center disks, but sometimes the rays are pink-tinged, violet or purple. Fruits are seed-like achenes. This boltonia is native to wet prairies, wet meadows, marshes, stream banks and pond peripheries in eastern and central North America from North Dakota to Maine south to Florida and Texas plus Manitoba and Saskatchewan with disjunct populations in Oregon and Idaho ...

Nocardia farcinica is a species of bacteria and a member of the genus Nocardia. This species is very similar in phenotype to Nocardia asteroides, to the degree that some isolates of N. asteroides were later found to be Nocardia farcinica. N. farcinica may be a causative agent of nocardiosis or of secondary infections in immunocompromised patients. Strains of this species have been isolated from human brain abscesses. N. farcinica contains a 6 million base pair genome with an average GC content of 70.8%. A sequenced strain, IFM 10152, is also known to contain two plasmids, pNF1 pNF2. The chromosome encodes 5,674 potential protein-coding open reading frames. This genome may have undergone numerous gene duplication events as a result of adapting to new environments. Parte, A.C.

A soil isolate, strain F829T, which had provisionally been assigned to the genus Nocardia, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. An almost complete 16S rDNA sequence was determined for this strain; the sequence was aligned with available sequences for nocardiae and phylogenetic trees were inferred using three tree-making algorithms. The organism showed a combination of phenotypic properties typical of nocardiae and formed a distinct phyletic line within the evolutionary radiation of species of the genus Nocardia, being most closely related to Nocardia asteroides ATCC 19247T. Strain F829T was readily distinguished from representatives of species of Nocardia with validly published names on the basis of phenotypic data, notably from the type strain of N. asteroides. It is proposed that the organism be recognized as a novel species of Nocardia, Nocardia caishijiensis sp. nov. The type strain is F829T (=AS 4.1728T =JCM 11508T).

Nocardia are weakly gram-positive, filamentous bacteria found worldwide in soils. Human disease from this microbe was first described by Eppinger in 1890, after bovine disease was described by Nocard in 1888. Pathogenic Nocardia are members of the family Nocardiaceae, the aerobic actinomycetes.. Dissemination is usually from a pulmonary source. Nocardia asteroides is the principal cause of systemic nocardiosis in the United States. A constellation of acute and chronic symptoms develops, ranging from headache to obtundation, pyuria, and right upper abdominal pain due to hepatic involvement.. CNS infection may have no signs or symptoms or may present with focal neurological deficits, seizures, and coma.. Imaging findings, particularly on MRI, can lead to the diagnosis of infection rather than tumor. T2 hypointense rings with corresponding ring enhancement and restricted diffusion are characteristic imaging features of suggestive of abscess. DW imaging has been shown to be superior to conventional ...

A 71-year-old white woman with cavitary lung disease had a transbronchial biopsy specimen that yielded Nocardia asteroides and M. simiae. She received sulfisoxazole for the former infection and clarithromycin and rifabutin for the latter. Six weeks after starting therapy with clarithromycin and rifabutin, she reported ageusia, arthralgias, and myalgias. Physical examination showed cachexia and mild skin hyperpigmentation. The patient had no edema, tenderness, or decreased range of joint motion. The leukocyte count was 3400 cells/mm3 (with a normal differential); the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 35 mm/h; the calcium level was 8.4 mg/dL; and the magnesium level was 2.0 mg/dL. The symptoms were attributed to rifabutin, which was then withdrawn. Two weeks later, ageusia had almost completely resolved. Rifabutin therapy was restarted, but within 2 days she reported worsening ageusia, myalgias, and arthralgias. Rifabutin therapy was discontinued and over the next few weeks her ageusia resolved ...

Nocardia is an opportunistic pathogen that causes respiratory infections in immunocompromised patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiology, clinical significance and antimicrobial susceptibility of Nocardia species isolated from eight children with cystic fibrosis. The isolated species were identified as Nocardia farcinica, Nocardia transvalensis, Nocardia pneumoniae, Nocardia veterana and Nocardia wallacei. N. farcinica was isolated in three patients and all of them presented lung affectation with a chronic colonization and pneumonia. N. farcinica showed resistance against gentamicin, tobramycin, cefotaxime, but was susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and amikacin. N. transvalensis, which was isolated from two patients, showed an association with chronic colonization. N. transvalensis was resistant to tobramycin and amikacin, but susceptible to ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and cefotaxime. N. veterana, N. pneumoniae and N. wallacei were isolated from three

Diagnosis may be difficult. In the clinical laboratory, routine cultures may be held for insufficient time to grow nocardiae, and referral to a reference laboratory may be needed for species identification. Recently, N. farcinica and N. nova have been removed from N.asteroides complex. N. farcinica frequently is more resistant to antimicrobial agents, including trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) (the drug of choice), and has been shown to be more virulent in an animal model. TMP-SMX therapy for HIV-infected patients may be complicated by frequent occurrence of side effects and drug resistance ...

A novel mechanism of rifampicin (Rif) resistance has recently been reported in Nocardia farcinica.

N. brasiliensis, N. otitidiscaviarum, and N. transvalensis represent the remaining 10% of infections. Of these, N. brasiliensis is the most important in tropical areas; it is most often seen as a cutaneous infection that can affect individuals with normal immune function (although 70% of cases of N. brasiliensis are seen in immunocompromised individuals).. In general, nocardiosis is a disease that affects primarily the cell- or humorally-immunocompromised population: transplant recipients, patients on high-dose steroids, and patients with cancer, AIDS, or other leukocyte deficiencies. Nocardia may also colonize the respiratory tract of immunocompetent individuals with compromised pulmonary function, such as those with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Once established, nocardial pneumonia will usually disseminate hematologically, with kidney, skin, GI tract, and brain being common targets; brain abscess (33% of cases) is the most common presentation. Sulfonamides, alone or ...

The purpose of this study was to establish optimal molar glycerol to glucose ratio for enhanced biosurfactant synthesis by the cultivation of Nocardia vacсinii ІMV В-7405 on a mixture of energetically nonequivalent substrates (glucose and glycerol). Based on theoretical calculations of the energy requirements for biomass production and the synthesis of surface-active trehalose monomycolates on the energy-deficient substrate (glycerol), the concentration of the energy-excessive substrate (glucose), which increased the efficiency of the substrate carbon conversion to biosurfactant, was determined. It was found that the synthesis of extracellular biosurfactant on a mixture of glucose and glycerol at molar ratio of 1.0:2.5 increased 2.0-2.3-fold compared to that on corresponding monosubstrates. The increased level of biosurfactant on the mixed substrate is determined by intensification of surface-active trehalose monomycolate synthesis, confirmed by 1.2-5.7-fold increase in activity of the ...

19 Dec 2010, 03:33 AM In Feb. 2010 my husband was diagnosed with lung nocardiosis at a VA hospital, the medications that were used to treat him were Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim - Clarithromycin - and Ethambutol , in which he had to take for 3 months under the supervision of a pharmacy doctor. From what we were told, and from what i have read, is that nocardiosis can in some cases lie dormant in your system for years before it comes to the surface, and usually surfaces when the individuals immune system becomes low, and that the only way to treat this condition is with antibiotic treatments. unfortunately it seems to be a situation where your darned if you do! ( long term use of antibiotic side effects ) and darned if you dont! ( possible fatal outcome ).
