A Case of Disseminated Nocardiosis due to <i>Nocardia otitidiscaviarum</i> With Pulmonary Infection and a Thyroid Abscess. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Nocardia otitidiscaviarum is a rare pathogen worldwide compared with other Nocardia species. Although Nocardia infections occur mainly in immunocompromised individuals and typically involve lungs and skin, cases in immunocompetent hosts have also been reported in recent years.

Efficient biodegradation of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate by a novel strain Nocardia asteroides LMB-7 isolated from electronic waste soil

Scientific Reports, 2022
The di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) degrading strain LMB-7 was isolated from electronic waste soil. According to its biophysical/biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA gene analysis, the strain was identified as Nocardia asteroides.
