AB  - Nocardiosis  results  from  infection  with  bacteria  in  the  genus  Nocardia,  saprophytic  aerobic  actinomycetes  that  commonly  reside  in  soil  worldwide  and  contribute  to  the  decay  of  organic  matter.  Nocardiae  are  relatively  inactive  in  standard  biochemical  tests,  and  speciation  with  traditional  biochemical  methods  is  difficult.  Since  the  year  2000,  molecular  phylogenetic  techniques,  primarily  based  on  16S  rRNA  gene  sequences,  have  identified  more  than  100  Nocardia  species,  many  of  which  are  implicated  in  human  disease.
