Nocardia brasiliensis is a species of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteriaNocardia, which are a type of . As with most members of Actinomycetota, they contain high guanine and cytosine content.[1] N. brasiliensis can cause nocardiosis.[2][3] Nocardiosis has been successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.[4]
