In the last decade, as a result of the widespread use of PCR and DNA sequencing, 16S
rDNA sequencing has played a pivotal role in the accurate identification of bacterial isolates …

It is important to keep in mind, and suspect the presence of pulmonary nocardiosis in the
immunodepressed patients with clinical pulmonary infection. Furthermore, the laboratory …

Nocardia species identification is difficult due to a complex and rapidly changing taxonomy,
the failure of 16S rRNA and cellular fatty acid analysis to discriminate many species, and the …

Background Pulmonary nocardiosis (PN) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening
infection. Most of our knowledge on PN is derived from case reports and small case series …

The genus of Nocardia is rapidly expanding and the species distribution varies with different
geographical locations. We retrospectively reviewed the laboratory records of the …

Background: Nocardia farcinica is a gram-positive, partially acid-fast, methenamine silver-
positive aerobic actinomycete. Nocardia spp. are opportunistic pathogens, and N. farcinica …

Phenotypic characteristics, antimicrobial susceptibility profile, and clinical-epidemiological
features of 28 Nocardia strains isolated from 19 cases of bovine mastitis, eight cutaneous …

Objectives The objective of this study is to characterize the common risk factors, clinical
presentation, imaging findings, treatment and outcome of nocardial infection. Design and …

Background Nocardia sp. causes a variety of clinical presentations. The incidence of
nocardiosis varies geographically according to several factors, such as the prevalence of …

Methods In this a 10-year retrospective review, all diagnosed cases of Pulmonary
Nocardiosis in a tertiary care hospital were included. The clinical and radiological …
