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.

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
