Our study provides a comprehensive understanding of Nocardia species diversity, antibiotic resistance patterns, and the molecular basis of antimicrobial resistance. Resistance appears to follow species-related patterns, suggesting a lesser role for de novo evolution or transmission of antimicrobial resistance.
