  • Title: [Feasibility of using gas-liquid chromatography to identify microbes of Nocardia genus].
    Author: Mudrov VM, Shkarin AV, Il'ina EA, Kireeva TV.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1997; (4):53-5. PubMed ID: 9333822.
    Abstract:
    The use of gas-liquid chromatography based on the determination of the fatty acid composition of bacterial cell makes it possible to rapidly identify Nocardia isolated from the patients' smears. Examining the fatty acid composition of museum and fresh Nocardia cultures suggests that they are largely homogeneous, The major fatty acids in Nocarida are hexadecenoic, octadecenoic, and tuberculostearic acids. Criteria for differentiating bacteria of the genus Nocarida via gas chromatographic analysis of their fatty acid spectrum from Mycobacteria and other nonmycobacterial acid-resistant microbes.
