We present a case of a 34-year-old patient with abdominal sepsis caused by an infrequent species: Chimaeribacter arupi. Genomic analysis confirmed the identification which is difficult to achieve by other methods so far. To our knowledge, this represents the first case of infection by this species reported in Argentina.

Members of the genus (order ) are isolated from the natural environment and clinical settings. Identification of strains based on biochemical characteristics is complicated due to taxonomic confusion, and they are often misidentified by automated identification systems in laboratories. In this study we describe the first three clinical cases associated with spp.

Studies have shown that disrupting the formation of the ligand-RET-GFRα complex could be an effective way of treating pain and itch. Compared to traditional high-throughput screens, DNA encoded libraries (DELs) have distinguished themselves as a powerful technology for hit identification in recent years. The present work demonstrates the use of DEL technology identifying compound 16 as the first GFRa2/GFRa3 small molecule inhibitor (0.

A case is presented of a 64-year-old male patient who was admitted because of delirium, jaundice, a pattern of cholestasis in the liver profile and a right lung mass in the context of a constitutional syndrome and weight loss in the last eight months. The lung mass was punctured and the culture of the obtained material developed white colonies, identified by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) as Nocardia cyriacigeorgica. Regarding the clinical diagnosis, it was considered as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), on the basis of fulfilling 8 criteria according to SLICC 2012 group, and 24 points according to EULAR/ACR 2019.

Article Synopsis
  • Corynebacterium spp. are common in the environment and part of human and animal microbiota, but human infections from these bacteria have increased recently, especially with multidrug-resistant strains emerging globally.
  • This study aims to present a newly identified species of Corynebacterium from human bone tissue that had been previously misidentified using standard methods.
  • Advanced genomic analyses showed significant differences between the newly identified isolates and related species, leading to the conclusion that a new species, named Corynebacterium hiratae sp. nov., has been discovered.
