A Comparison of Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis

Abstract
A description of Nocardia asteroides (Eppinger) Blanchard, based on the examination of 98 strains, is presented and compared with a description of N. brasiliensis (Lindenberg) Castellani and Chalmers, based on 50 strains. Characteristics common to freshly isolated strains, variants of the same strain, and old stock strains are used in the delineation of each species.
