2024年5月2日 · Nocardiosis is a disease caused by bacteria found in soil. It can affect the lungs, brain, and skin. Nocardiosis is most common in people with weakened immune systems. The disease is treated with commonly available antibiotics. The infection can prove fatal in as many as 4 out of 10 cases. Nocardiosis is a disease caused by bacteria found in soil.

Nocardia is a genus of weakly staining Gram-positive, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria. It forms partially acid-fast beaded branching filaments (appearing similar to fungi, but being truly bacteria).

2025年1月31日 · More than 40 Nocardia species are considered clinically relevant. The most commonly reported species from clinical sources are: People with very weak immune (body defense) systems are at risk for getting nocardiosis. Several diseases and conditions can cause the immune system to be weak. These include:

2024年6月25日 · Nocardiosis is an uncommon gram-positive bacterial infection caused by aerobic actinomycetes in the genus Nocardia. Nocardia spp have the ability to cause localized or systemic suppurative disease in humans and animals [1-5].

2023年5月29日 · Nocardiosis is a disease caused by bacteria found in soil or standing water. Learn more about the signs and treatments of this potentially serious condition.

2024年8月13日 · Nocardiosis is a rare infection caused by the Nocardia asteroides bacterium. This type of bacteria can be found in the soil and water of regions around the world. People may become infected with...

Typically, Nocardia is an opportunistic pathogen that primarily affects immunosuppressed patients. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of Nocardia infection and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the care of patients with this condition. Objectives: Identify patients at high risk of developing nocardiosis.

Nocardiosis is an infectious disease affecting either the lungs (pulmonary nocardiosis) or the whole body (systemic nocardiosis). It is due to infection by a bacterium of the genus Nocardia, most commonly Nocardia asteroides or Nocardia brasiliensis. It is most common in adult immunocompromised males.

Nocardia spp. is an environmental filamentous Gram-positive bacterium that may cause infections in humans and, despite recent progress, many challenges remain regarding the management of nocardiosis. This review aims at describing most recently ...

2022年12月4日 · Nocardia infection (nocardiosis) is a disorder that affects the lungs, brain, or skin. In otherwise healthy people, it may occur as a local infection. But in people with weakened immune systems, it may spread throughout the body.
