  • Title: [Possibilities of the use of gas-liquid chromatography in the identification of Nocardia microorganisms].
    Author: Shkarin AV, Mudrov VM, Il'ina EA, Kireeva TV.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1995; (4):40-2. PubMed ID: 7567870.
    Abstract:
    By determination of fatty acid composition of bacterial cells, gas-liquid chromatography can quickly identify Nocardia microorganisms isolated from the infected material. The study of fatty acid spectrum of the reference and fresh cultures Nocardia has found their homogeneity. Such fatty acids as hexadecenoic, hexadecanoic, octadecenoic, octadecanoic and tuberculostearic acids occurred most frequently. Differential criteria are proposed for Nocardia microorganisms basing on gas-liquid chromatography data on fatty acid spectra from mycobacteria to other nonmycobacterial acid-fast microorganisms.
