Five strains isolated from two patients with nocardiosis in Japan and three clinical samples from Thailand were found to have morphological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic properties consistent with their classification in the genus Nocardia. DNA–DNA hybridization, coupled with sequence analysis of 16S rDNA, indicated that these strains belong to a novel species of the genus Nocardia, named Nocardia asiatica sp. nov. because the isolation sites were in Asian countries; the type strain is IFM 0245T (=NBRC 100129T=JCM 11892T=DSM 44668T).
The DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rDNA sequences of Nocardia asiatica IFM 0245T, IFM 0263, IFM 0425, IFM 0731 and IFM 0860 are respectively AB092566–AB092570.
