Forty strains of nocardioform microorganisms were isolated as clinical specimens including several from AIDS patients in Thailand. Among them, 37 strains were found to belong to the genus Nocardia. Our identification studies revealed that most of the strains (25 strains) belong to the N. asteroides group, i.e., N. asteroides sensu stricto and N. farcinica. Three strains were identified as N. otitidiscaviarum and two strains N. brasiliensis. In addition, 7 strains of rare pathogenic N. transvalensis were also isolated.
从临床标本中分离出40株诺卡氏菌样微生物，其中包括来自泰国艾滋病患者的几株。其中，37株被发现属于诺卡氏菌属。我们的鉴定研究表明，大多数菌株（25株）属于星形诺卡氏菌组，即狭义的星形诺卡氏菌和豚鼠耳炎诺卡氏菌。3株被鉴定为豚鼠耳炎诺卡氏菌，2株为巴西诺卡氏菌。此外，还分离出7株罕见的致病型特兰斯瓦诺卡氏菌。
