✦ Synopsis
The isolation of Nocardia pathogenic for man in soil of Tucumán revealed the convenience of undertaking a study of their virulence, to evaluate any potential danger it may imply. Thirty three strains were studied: 28 N. brasiliensis, 3 N. asteroides and 2 N. caviae by inoculating albino Swiss mice into the footpads and intraperitoneally. The results obtained revealed the existence of Nocardia of variable aggresiveness in the soil of Tucumán.
