title: Enzymatic characterization of Nocardia spp. and related bacteria by API ZYM profile.
abstract: Characterization of 62 isolates belonging to the genus Nocardia and related bacteria was obtained by using the API ZYM system. The difference in enzymatic profile should allow a relatively efficient, low-cost means to identify aerobic actinomycetes of clinical significance.
