Enzymatic characterization of Nocardia spp. and related bacteria by API ZYM profile
Abstract
Characterization of 62 isolates belonging to the genus Nocardia and related bacteria was obtained by using the API ZYM system. The difference in enzymatic profile should allow a relatively efficient, low-cost means to identify aerobic actinomycetes of clinical significance.
