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 …

The application of phylogenetic taxonomic procedures led to improvements in the
classification of bacteria assigned to the phylum Actinobacteria but even so there remains a …

The genus Nocardia has undergone rapid taxonomic expansion in recent years, and an
increasing number of species are recognized as human pathogens. Many established …

Cold desert soil microbiomes thrive despite severe moisture and nutrient limitations. In
Eastern Antarctic soils, bacterial primary production is supported by trace gas oxidation and …

Introduction: Nocardiosis is an infectious actinomycetic disease with a variable clinical
spectrum that makes it difficult to diagnose. It mainly affects immunosuppressed individuals …

The identification of Nocardia isolates still represents a challenge for matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) despite its …

The diversity of actinomycetes associated with the marine sponge Coscinoderma mathewsi
collected from Hurghada (Egypt) was studied. Twenty-three actinomycetes were separated …

Technological advancements in fields such as molecular genetics and the human
microbiome have resulted in an unprecedented recognition of new bacterial genus/species …

Identification of Nocardia can be challenging, even by matrix-assisted laser desorption
