Chemotaxonomic and 16S rDNA sequence analyses of an isolate from the sputa and bronchial secretions of a patient with chronic lung disease clearly demonstrated that it belongs to the genus Nocardia. DNA-DNA hybridization data, as well as the biochemical characteristics of the isolate, indicate that it belongs to a new species that differs from previously described members of the genus Nocardia. The name Nocardia paucivorans sp. nov. is proposed for this isolate and is represented by strain IMMIB D-1632T (= DSM 44386T).

Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection that affects both immunocompromised as well as immunocompetent patients. The main infections occur as soft tissue and lung infections although they might disseminate to various organs. This is a case study aimed to reflect the severity of the disease and the patient's risk factors associated with the infection.

We introduce the case of a male patient in his 60s who was admitted to our emergency department with a persisting sore throat for the last 3 weeks and dysphagia. Fibre-endoscopic evaluation revealed an asymmetry at the base of the tongue. In combination with elevated white cell count and C reactive protein, a computerized tomography showed a superinfected thyroglossal duct cyst.

Background: is an infrequently found bacterium with the potential to cause severe infection, with a predilection for the central nervous system, both in immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. Rapid etiological diagnosis of nocardiosis can facilitate timely and rational antimicrobial treatment. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can improve the rate and reduce the turnaround time for the detection of .
