Abstract
Since a 1951 taxonomic study of the genus Nocardia began, only 8 strains of N. carnea (Rossi-Doria) Castellani and Chalmers, 4 strains of N. vaccinii Demaree and Smith, 5 of N. transvalensis Pijper and Pullinger, 21 of N. orientalis (Pittenger and Brigham) Pridham and 14 of N. aerocolonigenes (Shinobu and Kawato) Pridham were found. These 5 groups of strains are described and are compared with strains of 9 accepted Nocardia spp. With the possible exception of N. orientalis, more strains of these 5 taxa must be asembled and examined to establish the reliability of the descriptions and identifications.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
