 AB    Forty strains of nocardioform microorganisms were isolated as clinical
       specimens including several from AIDS patients in Thailand. Among them,
       37 strains were found to belong to the genus Nocardia. Our
       identification studies revealed that most of the strains (25 strains)
       belong to the N. asteroides group, i.e., N. asteroides sensu stricto and
       N. farcinica. Three strains were identified as N. otitidiscaviarum and
       two strains N. brasiliensis. In addition, 7 strains of rare pathogenic
       N. transvalensis were also isolated.
