Isolation of Nocardia asteroides from respiratory specimens by using selective buffered charcoal-yeast extract agar

E Kerr et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1992 May.

Abstract

Nocardiosis is difficult to diagnose clinically and by laboratory methods. A patient presented with disease compatible with pulmonary malignancy, but Nocardia asteroides was isolated on buffered charcoal-yeast extract agar. Investigation revealed that this medium may be a suitable selective primary isolation medium for Nocardia species from respiratory specimens.
