AI Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary nocardiosis is a rare infection that typically affects individuals with weakened immune systems.
- The case report describes a unique instance of an immunocompetent patient in Turkey who contracted pulmonary Nocardia transvalensis.
- The patient presented with bilateral pneumonia and bronchial dilation, and was successfully treated for six months with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
Article Abstract
Pulmonary nocardiosis is a rare infection mostly occurs in patients with immunosuppressive conditions. We report an immunocompetent case of pulmonary Nocardia transvalensis from Turkey, presented with bilateral pneumonia and bronchial dilatation treated six months with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.

Nocardia spp., which belongs to one of the Nocardio-form filamentous bacteria, is usually surface hydrophobic and when overproduced attaches to the surface of bubbles under the action of surfactants, allowing the stable presence of foam on the surface of aeration tanks, leading to the occurrence of sludge-foaming events. Two novel phages, P69 and KYD2, were isolated from the environment, and their hosts were Nocardia transvalensis and Nocardia carnea, respectively.

Background: Nocardiae is an opportunistic infection mainly of the immunocompromised patient without sparing the immunocompetent subject or without any identified risk factors. They can be localized or disseminated. The extreme rarity of this infection often results in a deleterious diagnostic delay.

We describe here the isolation and characterization of the bacteriophage, NTR1 from activated sludge. This phage is lytic for Nocardia transvalensis, Nocardia brasiliensis and Nocardia farcinica. NTR1 phage has a genome sequence of 65,275 bp in length, and its closest match is to the Skermania piniformis phage SPI1 sharing over 36% of its genome.
