Genome Sequences of Three Nocardia cyriacigeorgica Strains and One Nocardia asteroides Strain.

ABSTRACT: We report four draft genome sequences of Nocardia spp. The strains are the Nocardia cyriacigeorgica DSM 44484 pathogenic type strain; two environmental isolates, Nocardia cyriacigeorgica EML446 and EML1456; and the Nocardia asteroides ATCC 19247 nonpathogenic type strain, with estimated genome sizes of 6.3 to 6.8?Mb. The study of these isolates will provide insight into physiology, evolution, and pathogenicity of Nocardia spp.

Genome sequence of the human- and animal-pathogenic strain Nocardia cyriacigeorgica GUH-2.

Project description:The pathogenic strain Nocardia cyriacigeorgica GUH-2 was isolated from a fatal human nocardiosis case, and its genome was sequenced. The complete genomic sequence of this strain contains 6,194,645 bp, an average G+C content of 68.37%, and no plasmids. We also identified several protein-coding genes to which N. cyriacigeorgica's virulence can potentially be attributed.

Nocardia cyriacigeorgica septicemia.

Project description:We report two cases of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica septicemia and disseminated infection in the setting of profound immunodeficiency. In both instances, diagnosis was rapidly facilitated by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of blood culture isolates. These constitute the first confirmed reports of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica bloodstream infection in humans.

Phylogeny of the genus Nocardia based on reassessed 16S rRNA gene sequences reveals underspeciation and division of strains classified as Nocardia asteroides into three established species and two unnamed taxons.

Project description:Conventional identification of Nocardia in the routine laboratory remains problematic due to a paucity of reliable phenotypic tests and due to the yet-unresolved taxonomy of strains classified as belonging to the species Nocardia asteroides, which comprises the type strain and isolates with drug pattern types II and VI. The 16S rRNA gene of 74 representative strains of the genus Nocardia, encompassing 25 established species, was sequenced in order to provide a molecular basis for accurate species identification and with the aim of reassessing the phylogeny of taxons assigned to the species N. asteroides. The result of this phylogenetic analysis confirms that the interspecies heterogeneity of closely related nocardial species can be considerably low (a sequence divergence of only 0.5% was found between N. paucivorans and N. brevicatena). We observed a sequence microheterogeneity (sequence divergence of fewer than five bases) in 8 of 11 species of which more than one strain in the species was studied. At least 10 taxons were found that merit description as new species. Strains previously classified as N. asteroides fell into five distinct phylogenetic groups: the type strain cluster (N. asteroides sensu strictu), N. abscessus, N. cyriacigeorgica, and two clusters closely related to N. carnea or N. flavorosea. The strains within the latter two groups probably represent new species, pending further genetic and phenotypic evaluation. Restricted phenotypic data revealed that N. abscessus, N. cyriacigeorgica, and the two Nocardia species taxons are equivalent to drug patterns I, VI, and II, respectively. In the future, these data will help in finding species-specific markers after adoption of a more precise nomenclature for isolates closely related to N. asteroides and unravel confusing phenotypic data obtained in the past for unresolved groups of strains that definitely belong to separate taxons from a phylogenetic point of view.

Whole-Genome Sequences of One Arthrobacter Strain and Three Pseudarthrobacter Strains Isolated from the Namib Desert.

Project description:We report here the draft genome sequences of one Arthrobacter sp. strain (NamB2) and three Pseudarthrobacter sp. strains (NamE2, NamB4, and NamE5) isolated from topsoil in the Namib Desert, Namibia. The assemblies contain between 29 (NamB2) and 68 (NamE5) contigs >200?bp and range from 3.26?Mb (NamB2) to 4.03?Mb (NamE2). One plasmid was identified in Pseudarthrobacter sp. strain NamE5.

Systemic nocardiosis in a dog caused by Nocardia cyriacigeorgica.

Project description:Systemic nocardiosis due to Nocardia cyriacigeorgica has not been reported in dogs.Light and electron microscopy, microbiological culture and molecular identification (PCR) were used to diagnose systemic nocardiosis caused by Nocardia cyriacigeorgica in a 3-month-old husky dog. The postmortem changes included multifocal to coalescing, sharply circumscribed pyogranulomatous inflammation and abscess formation in lungs, liver, myocardium, spleen, kidneys, brain, and hilar lymph nodes. The organism was isolated and sequencing of its 16S rRNA allowed its identification and speciation. Examination of the bacterial culture by scanning electron-microscope showed filamentous branching with fragmentation into widely bacillary and cocoid forms of the bacteria. There was no history of immunosupressive drug administration and infection by the immunosuppresive viral pathogens, canine distemper and parvovirus were excluded via PCR.N. cyriacigeorgica should be considered potential cause of systemic pyogranulomatous lesions in dogs. It is the first reported case of systemic nocardiosis due to N. cyriacigeorgica in a dog.

Nocardia cyriacigeorgica, an emerging pathogen in the United States.

Project description: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 yielded an additional six N. cyriacigeorgica isolates. Because routine laboratory algorithms for the phenotypic identification of Nocardia species are limited in practice, the true prevalence of N. cyriacigeorgica infections may be greater than currently appreciated. Indeed, we present evidence confirming that N. cyriacigeorgica is coincident with the unofficial species designation Nocardia asteroides complex antimicrobial susceptibility pattern type VI and distinct from the N. asteroides sensu stricto strain ATCC 19247(T). As nocardial species identity can predict antimicrobial susceptibility and guide clinical management, we offer simplified phenotypic and molecular protocols to assist the identification of N. cyriacigeorgica.
