Nocardia paucivorans sp. nov

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2000 Mar:50 Pt 2:803-809. doi: 10.1099/00207713-50-2-803.

Abstract

Chemotaxonomic and 16S rDNA sequence analyses of an isolate from the sputa and bronchial secretions of a patient with chronic lung disease clearly demonstrated that it belongs to the genus Nocardia. DNA-DNA hybridization data, as well as the biochemical characteristics of the isolate, indicate that it belongs to a new species that differs from previously described members of the genus Nocardia. The name Nocardia paucivorans sp. nov. is proposed for this isolate and is represented by strain IMMIB D-1632T (= DSM 44386T).
