Abstract excerpt
The growth of Nocardia asteroides GUH-2 and two mutants (NG-49 and I-38-syn) in regions of the brains of BALB/c mice was determined by microdissection and viable counting. GUH-2 grew throughout the murine brain but at different growth rates that depended on the specific location. The rate of increase in total CFU per brain during GUH-2 infection was unaffected by the inoculum size; however, in five of eight brain...
