Nocardia colli sp. nov., a new pathogen isolated from a patient with primary cutaneous nocardiosis.

ABSTRACT: A novel nocardioform strain, CICC 11023^T, was isolated from a tissue biopsy of neck lesions of a patient with primary cutaneous nocardiosis and characterized to establish its taxonomic position. The morphological, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic properties of strain CICC 11023^T were consistent with classification in the genus Nocardia. Whole-cell hydrolysates were rich in meso-diaminopimelic acid, galactose, arabinose and fructose. Mycolic acids were present. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified lipids, and the predominant menaquinone was cyclo MK-8 (H4, ω-cyclo). The main fatty acids (>5 %) were C_18 : 0 10-methyl (TBSA), C_16 : 0, summ
