Nocardia farcinicais a species ofbacteria,once thought to be associated withfarcy,and a member of the genusNocardia.This species is very similar in phenotype toNocardia asteroides,to the degree that some isolates ofN. asteroideswere later found to beNocardia farcinica.[3]
Pathogenicity
[edit]N. farcinicamay be a causative agent ofnocardiosis[4]or of secondary infections in immunocompromised patients.[5]Strains of this species have been isolated from human brain abscesses.[6]
Genome
[edit]N. farcinicacontains a 6 millionbase pairgenome with an averageGC contentof 70.8%. A sequenced strain, IFM 10152, is also known to contain two plasmids, pNF1 pNF2. The chromosome encodes 5,674 potential protein-codingopen reading frames.This genome may have undergone numerousgene duplicationevents as a result of adapting to new environments.[7]
