Nocardia farcinica infections are rare and potentially life threatening. Identification is based on growth at 45 degreesC, opacification of Middlebrook 7H10 agar, and resistance to antibiotics. We describe a case of fatal pulmonary N. farcinica infection in a patient with pneumoconiosis that was diagnosed by culture of sputum onto selective media.
豚鼠耳炎诺卡菌感染较为罕见，且可能危及生命。其鉴定依据为在45℃下生长、Middlebrook 7H10琼脂的浑浊以及对抗生素的耐药性。我们描述了一例尘肺病患者发生的致命性肺部豚鼠耳炎诺卡菌感染病例，该病例通过将痰液接种于选择性培养基上培养得以确诊。
