1996年至2003年，从泰国临床标本中分离到171株致病需氧放线菌。其中含放线菌134株，其中诺卡氏菌96株。其他包括10株戈登尼亚菌、14株红球菌和22株分枝杆菌。同时还分离到一株新月形藻属和棒状杆菌属。还鉴定出27株含有非真菌酸的放线菌。对96株诺卡氏菌的鉴定研究表明，泰国主要病原菌为北京诺卡氏菌(18株)、环状诺卡氏菌(13株)和法氏诺卡氏菌(34株)，其中以法氏诺卡氏菌最常见(35.4%)。我们还分离到4株亚洲新梢核菌、5株狭义小行星新梢核菌、4株新星新梢核菌、7株蒂蒂迪萨维氏菌、8株横纹夜蛾和2株拟巴氏新梢线虫。
In Thailand from 1996 to 2003, 171 strains of pathogenic aerobic actinomycetes from clinical specimens were isolated. Of those strains, 134 were mycolic acid containing actinomycetes, including 96 strains of Nocardia species. Others included 10 strains of Gordonia, 14 strains of Rhodococcus, and 22 strains of Mycobacterium. One strain each of the genera Tsukamurella and Corynebacterium were also isolated. Also identified were 27 strains of non-mycolic acid containing actinomycetes. Our identification studies of 96 strains of Nocardia species showed that significant pathogens in Thailand were N. beijingensis (18 strains), N. cyriacigeorgica (13 strains), and N. farcinica (34 strains); the most prevalent species was N. farcinica (35.4%). We also isolated four strains of N. asiatica, five strains of N. asteroides sensu stricto, four strains of N. nova, seven strains of N. otitidiscaviarum, eight strains of N. transvalensis, and two strains of N. pseudobrasiliensis.
