Abstract
The pathogenicity ofNocardia caviae, N. asteroides andN. brasiliensis has been tested for white mice, guinea pigs and rabbits and chorio-allantoic membrane of the developing chick embryo. Altogether, 14 strains belonging to the 3Nocardia species originating from soil, human and animal sources in India or abroad were tested. All of them proved pathogenic though the degree of virulence varied from strain to strain. Incorporation of hog gastric mucin in the inoculum enhanced the virulence of all the 3Nocardia species for white mice.N. caviae strains were uniformly more virulent than those ofN. asteroides andN. brasiliensis.
