Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, clinical sites and phenotypic of seven Nocardia isolates from humans, Brazil.
Figure 1.
NJ tree constructed from 3,189-bp concatenated gyrB-16S-secA1-hsp65 sequences from seven clinical isolates of Nocardia and those of the most closely related type species.
Distance estimations were calculated by Kimura two-parameter.
