Nocardia are aerobic Gram-positive saprophytes that are widely distributed in nature, but some species cause nocardiosis, especially opportunistic infections that affect immunocompromised patients mostly. In this study, we developed a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme using seven housekeeping genes (gyrB, hsp65, secA1, rpoB, rpoA, recA, and trpB) for genotyping the most common clinical species, Nocardia...
