Nocardia occasionally has been reported in healthy people. A case series of definitive Nocardiosis (2002 to 2010), clinical characteristics, underlying diseases, immune status and in-patient outcome were studied in a tert...
متن کاملNocardiosis: review of clinical and laboratory experience.
Members of the genus Nocardia are associated with the group of microorganisms known as the aerobic actinomycetes and belong specifically to the family Mycobacteriaceae. The nocardiae contain tuberculostearic acids but differ from the mycobacteria by possession of shorter-chained (40to 60-carbon) mycolic acids.
