Abstract:
Nocardia neocaledoniensis is an uncommon cause of human-infections. Few cases are reported in the literature. We describe the first case of bacteremia caused by N. neocaledoniensis. This article underlines the importance of mass spectrometry for easy and rapid identification of such bacterium.

Pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the renal parenchyma and collecting system, including the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys. It can be classified as either acute—a sudden, severe infection—or chronic, which refers to long-term or recurrent kidney infections.The primary cause of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is bacterial infection, with Escherichia coli accounting for approximately 70-80% of cases. Other bacteria, such...
