Molecular mechanisms underlying Nocardia host interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyNocardia species are opportunistic pathogens that cause localized and disseminated infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Despite their clinical importance, the molecular mechanisms underlying Nocardia pathogenicity remain ...

Medical Mycology Journal, 2006 Five aerobic actinomycete strains isolated from patients in Japan were assigned provisionally to the genus Nocardia based on morphological and physiological characteristics. The five strains, IFM 10481, IFM 0668, IFM 0901, IFM 0583 and IFM 0342, were not classified into any Nocardia species reported as infectious agents in Japan.

A Comparison of Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1959 SUMMARY: A description of Nocardia asteroides (Eppinger) Blanchard, based on the examination of 98 strains, is presented and compared with a description of N. brasiliensis (Lindenberg) Castellani and Chalmers, based on 50 strains. Characteristics common to freshly isolated strains, variants of the same strain, and old stock strains are used in the ...

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
