Nocardia spp. can lead to local or disseminated infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. Combination therapy of amikacin and imipenem is commonly used to treat severe nocardial infections. We describe a patient with imipenem-resistant Nocardia cyriacigeorgica, which, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported among isolates of this species.
奴卡菌属可导致局部或播散性感染,特别是在免疫功能低下的患者中。氨基糖苷类和碳青霉烯类联合治疗常用于治疗严重的奴卡菌感染。我们描述了一例对亚胺培南耐药的触须奴卡菌,据我们所知,在该种属的分离株中尚未有过报道。
