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 ...

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

Genetic recombination in Nocardia asteroides [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1982
Gene recombination between strains of Nocardia asteroides of diverse origins has been demonstrated. In particular pairwise combinations, recombinants made up 0.01% of the population. All nine selectable recombinant classes were recovered from a cross KK4-47 his-10 leu-1 and KK6-119 met-3 phe-3.
