Accurate identification of Nocardia species is burdened by its characteristic branching on Gram staining, which makes it seem acid fast and mimics Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Besides, conventional methods involve long-term culture, the identification of growth characteristics of colonies, assessment of microscopic morphology of colonies, and biochemical and susceptibility testing.

The mechanism of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis can occur in several ways, (1) a decrease in the effectiveness of the drug due to over production of its target protein, (2) drug efflux that cause the drug could not reach to its target, and (3) alteration of in the drug target protein due to mutations of their genes.
