Abstract

We herein describe five various cases of human infections by Nocardia cyriacigeorgica. The identification included conventional and molecular sequencing tests. The current study provides further evidences that N. cyriacigeorgica species is a ubiquitous organism capable of establishing long-term infection in healthy and immunocompromised patients.
