In all areas of tropical medicine and surgery, including emerging infectious diseases, neglected tropical diseases, non-communicable diseases, tropical biomedicine, tropical diseases, tropical fish diseases, tropical fish medicine, tropical health nutrition, tropical medicine, tropical medicine and health, and tropical medicine and hygiene, significant and influential scientific works are featured in the open access journal Tropical Medicine & Surgery. The journal's focus extends beyond merely tropical medicine; articles on parasitology, veterinary medicine, and epidemiology, which are closely related to research in tropical medicine, are all encouraged. It is a blessing for researchers and students who want to stay up to date on the most recent developments in the medical area because it will enable them to expand on their present knowledge.

Nocardia is an ambient aerobic actinobacterium (Actinomycete) that occurs frequently in soil and water and stains positively on Gram stains. The main way that people become infected is through inhalation, although it is also possible to become infected directly through the skin or by ingesting the microbe. Clinical signs of disseminated disease, which usually affects the neurological system and skeletal or soft-tissue tissues, might include pulmonary, cutaneous, intravenous line infections, and disseminated disease, depending on the route of infection. Noncutaneous illness is most frequently documented in immunocompromised individuals, such as solid organ transplant recipients. According to current studies, lung transplant recipients (LTR, 3.5%) and heart transplant recipients (HTR, 2.5%) are at the highest risk. Immunocompromised patients often need treatment for a minimum of 6 months. transplant of solid organs and nocardiosis

By using customary culture-based techniques, such as inoculation onto nonselective and enriched agar medium like horse blood, chocolate blood, and buffered charcoal yeast extract agar and incubation at 35°C, we recovered Nocardia from induced sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, and tissue biopsies. Colony morphology, Gram stain appearance, and a positive modified acid-fast stain were used as the basis for the first identification. The genus-level identification of Nocardia was verified by mass spectrometry. The Institute for Clinical Pathology and Medical Research at Westmead Hospital (Sydney, NSW, Australia) carried out species-level identification using PCR and DNA sequencing of the Nocardia secA1 gene and partial 5′ 16s rRNA.

Inoculating Nocardia onto nonselective and enriched agar media such horse blood, chocolate blood, and buffered charcoal yeast extract agar and incubating at 35°C allowed us to isolate the organism from induced sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, and tissue biopsies. Based on colony morphology, Gram stain appearance, and a positive modified acid-fast stain, the first identification was made. Nocardia was positively identified to the genus level by mass spectrometry. The Nocardia secA1 gene and partial 5′ 16s rRNA DNA sequencing were used by the Institute for Clinical Pathology and Medical Research at Westmead Hospital (Sydney, NSW, Australia) to identify the species.
