Nocardia is a genus of weakly-staining Gram-positive, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria. It forms partially acid-fast beaded branching filaments (acting as a fungi, but being truly bacteria).

Most Nocardia infections are acquired by inhalation of the bacteria or through traumatic introduction.
