| an ultrastructural comparison of the cell envelopes of selected strains of nocardia asteroides and nocardia brasiliensis. | growth curves were determined for three strains each of nocardia asteroides and nocardia brasiliensis. two strains of n. brasiliensis and one strain of n. asteroides had longer lag periods of growth than the remaining three strains. all strains had generation times of approximately 5.5 hours. the ultrastructure of the cell envelope of each nocardia strain in early stationary phase growth was also examined. all the strains had typical trilaminar cell walls and cell membranes. the thickness of the ... | 1980 | 6990267 |
| enhanced resistance to nocardia brasiliensis infection in mice depleted of antigen-specific b cells. | this study deals with the roles of t and b cells in nocardia brasiliensis infection in mice. nocardia injected into the animals' footpads caused inflammatory responses and mycetomas in situ, resulting in granulomatous lesions of subcutaneous tissues and eventual bone destruction. these clinical features resemble those of humans infected with nocardia. the effect, if any, of antibody was studied by passively transferring anti-nocardia serum into either immunologically normal or t-deficient infect ... | 1982 | 6980947 |
| immunoglobulin and complement in tissues of mice infected with nocardia brasiliensis. | two weeks after mice had been infected in the footpad with cells of nocardia brasiliensis, immunoglobulin and c3 deposits were observed in tissue from the inoculation site. both immunoglobulin and c3 were found in the actinomycotic granules that characterize the mycetoma and in the surrounding inflammatory zones, in which plasma cells were also present. although anti-n. brasiliensis specificity was evidenced at 14 days postinfection in an eluate of infected tissue by an immunoenzymatic assay, no ... | 1983 | 6852920 |
| [fatty acid composition of the lipids of streptomycetes and their nocardia-like mutants]. | the models "population--nocardia-like spontaneous mutants" for 14 cultures of streptomycetes and streptoverticillium were used to assess the fatty acid composition of lipids as a criterion for generic differentiation of streptomyces and nocardia cultures. the composition of fatty acids in the nocardia-like mutant str. kanamyceticus ria-771 was found to be identical with that of nocardia asteroides ria-43 and nocardia brasiliensis ria-440, i. e. generic chemotaxonomic traits "overlapped" in the p ... | 1980 | 6777646 |
| [experimental pathogenicity of isolates of nocardia asteroides, nocardia brasiliensis and nocardia caviae from different sources]. | the experimental pathogenicity of 14 isolates of nocardia brasiliensis, 15 of n. asteroides, and 5 of n. caviae was investigated for the white swiss mice inoculated intraperitoneally and in the foot pad, and for the guinea-pig and the hamster (mesocricetus auratus) both inoculated intratesticularly. the guinea-pig was remarkably sensitive to n. asteroides, with an apparent relationship between pathogenicity and thermotolerance, confirming previous observations. mice were in general less suscepti ... | 1982 | 6760417 |

| disseminated cutaneous nocardia brasiliensis infection. | nocardia brasiliensis is an uncommon pathogen in the united states despite its presence in soil samples. it is most frequently seen in patients who are immunosuppressed, but can occur in the immunocompetent host also. usually in a healthy host the infection is localized to one area of the body. disseminated infection was diagnosed in a healthy child who recovered fully after initiation of oral sulfonamide therapy. we suspect that the source was soil to which the patient was exposed during a fami ... | 1984 | 6504778 |
| the clinical spectrum of nocardia brasiliensis infection in the united states. | seven cases of infection due to nocardia brasiliensis were identified over a 13-year period at duke university medical center, durham, north carolina. these seven cases and a review of 55 cases in the literature reported from the united states show that n. brasiliensis can cause a wide spectrum of disease. forty-six of the 62 patients had disease of skin and soft tissues. cutaneous manifestations included cellulitis, pustules, ulcerations, pyoderma, subcutaneous abscesses, a lymphocutaneous synd ... | 1984 | 6374833 |

| [mycetoma in northern argentina]. | from 1972 to october 1982 we have observed 39 cases of mycetoma in the skin department of the hospital del milagro, salta (argentina). the diagnosis was based on the clinical aspect, mycological studies and in most cases histopathology was done as well. the mayoritary of the patients were farmers. from the clinical point of view there si a true prevalence of nocardia brasiliensis. most of the mycetomas can be found in the lower limbs. some of the patients presented quite severe lesions and eight ... | 1983 | 6366400 |
| purification and partial characterization of a nocardia brasiliensis extracellular protease. | nocardia brasiliensis possess proteolytic activities that can be readily detected in a variety of media. in a modified formulation of a growth medium originally used for streptomyces aureofaciens, n. brasiliensis was found to secrete proteolytic enzymes, one of which was capable of hydrolyzing casein. this enzyme was purified to homogeneity from cell-free culture filtrates of n. brasiliensis. the purification procedure included ion-exchange chromatography on carboxymethyl-sepharose, gel filtrati ... | 1984 | 6363390 |
| failure of sulfonamides and trimethoprim in the treatment of nocardiosis. | an immunocompromised patient with nocardia brasiliensis pneumonia and empyema acquired disseminated disease due to nocardia asteroides and died. the treatment of choice for pulmonary or disseminated nocardiosis is 6 to 12 g/day of sulfisoxazole (or adjusted dosage to achieve a serum level of 100 to 150 mg/l) continued for six to 18 months. combination therapy may be beneficial in selected patients; if trimethoprim therapy is used with sulfonamides, higher than usual doses of trimethoprim may be ... | 1983 | 6337576 |
| sensitivity to capreomycin and prothionamide in strains of mycobacterium, nocardia, rhodococcus, and related taxa for taxonomical purposes. | sensitivity to capreomycin and to prothionamide was analysed for 150 strains belonging to the genera mycobacterium, nocardia, rhodococcus, and related taxa. the analyses showed, e.g., that strains of mycobacterium chelonei and nocardia brasiliensis were more resistant to capreomycin than the other strains tested and that m. farcinogenes differed from m. senegalense concerning sensitivity to this drug. the analysis showed, furthermore, that strains of mycobacterium differ from those of nocardia, ... | 1983 | 6196927 |
