Abstract

We report four draft genome sequences of Nocardia spp. The strains are the Nocardia cyriacigeorgica DSM 44484 pathogenic type strain; two environmental isolates, Nocardia cyriacigeorgica EML446 and EML1456; and the Nocardia asteroides ATCC 19247 nonpathogenic type strain, with estimated genome sizes of 6.3 to 6.8 Mb. The study of these isolates will provide insight into physiology, evolution, and pathogenicity of Nocardia spp.
