Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis infections in mice [PDF]

open access: yesInfection 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
