Abstract

|
|
The majority of Nocardial infections reported in North America are7N. -asteroids while those in Latin America are N. brasiliensis species. Infection with N. brasiliensis, to our knowledge, has not previously been reported in Korea.
The author isolated one strain of Nocardia brasiliensis from the abscess of right bottock of 23 month old female leukemic patient who was treated with methotrixate for five months at the Seoul National University Hospital.
The morphological characteristics and biological properties were similar with the R. E. Gordon´s description.
The results are summarized as follow:
1. After 5 days incubation on Sabouroud´s glucose agar, the acid fast character appeared partially. 2. Tyrosine, casein and urea were decomposed by 7 days incubation both at room temperature and at 37°C.
3. Sod, citrate and sod. acetate were utilized at 22°C and 37°C after 28 days incubation while the sod. benzoate utilization was negative.
4. The survival range of temperature was from 10°C to 40°C.
5. Dulcitol, galactose, glycerol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, rhamose, sorbitol, trehalose and xylose fermentations were not observed up to 28 days, while the fermentation of glucose and inositol were positive.
