Clinical screening of Nocardia in sputum smears based on neural networks
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 ObjectiveNocardia is clinically rare but highly pathogenic in clinical practice. Due to the lack of Nocardia screening methods, Nocardia is often missed in diagnosis, leading to worsening the condition. Therefore, this paper proposes a Nocardia screening

Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis infections in mice [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1976 A model for Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis infections in Swiss white mice has been established without the addition to the inocula of any form of adjuvant. Serial histopathological studies revealed that these two actinomycetes cause lesions that are quite different in their features. An acute suppurative abscess characterizes the lesions
