Overview

  • Nocardia cyriacigeorgica, (aka Nocardia cyriacigeorgici), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, filamentous bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 68.1%. Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Yassin2001)



  • This organism has been recovered from a patient suffering chronic bronchitis. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
