whole genome sequencing of Nocardia farcinica
This strain of Nocardia farcinica was isolated from ascitic fluid of a peritoneal dialysis patient. The infection was caused by the catheter used for peritoneal dialysis. Nocardia farcinica is an actinomycete belonging to the genus Nocardia. Although it is an environmental organism widely found in soil and water, it is known to have high pathogenicity among Nocardia species.
