This review provides a state-of-the-art description of the performance of Sanger cycle
sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene for routine identification of bacteria in the clinical …

This review serves as an update to the previous Nocardia review by Brown-Elliott et al.
published in 2006 (BA Brown-Elliott, JM Brown, PS Conville, and RJ Wallace. Jr., Clin …

Nocardia species are a complex group of organisms considered to belong to the aerobic
actinomycetes. Of the validly described species, many have been implicated as the cause of …

The genus Nocardia is an aerobic bacterium, Gram-positive and catalase positive that is in
Nocardiaceae family. This bacterium first described by Edmond Nocard in 1888 and is not in …

Abstract Objectives Nocardia, a Gram-positive bacterium, is responsible for rare and severe
infections. Accurate microbiological data are essential to guide antibiotic treatment. Our …

Nocardia spp. is an environmental filamentous Gram-positive bacterium that may cause
infections in humans and, despite recent progress, many challenges remain regarding the …

Nocardia spp. is a pathogen responsible for a variety of clinical infections, ranging from skin
and soft tissue infections, to the respiratory tract and central nervous system infections. Its …

The phylogeny of the class Actinobacteria remains controversial, essentially because it is
very sensitive to the choice of dataset and phylogenetic methods. We used a test proposed …

The aerobic actinomycetes are aerobic Gram‐positive rods, most of which exhibit branching
on microscopic evaluation. These organisms have been noted to cause significant …

Treatment of mycetoma depends on the causative organism and since many organisms,
both actinomycetes (actinomycetoma) and fungi (eumycetoma), are capable of producing …
