Abstract

Pathogenic Nocardia species was found to have characteristic drug susceptibility profiles against certain ranges of chemotherapeutic agents, such as imipenem, aminoglycosides and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Based on the individual susceptibility patterns (expressed as + for sensitive and - for nonsensitive) to 50 μg/ml of imipenem, tobramycin and 5-FU, clinical isolates of Nocardia are easily and rapidly assignable to N. brasiliensis (−,+,−), N. asteroides (+,+,−), N. farcinica (+,−,−) and N. nova (+,−,+).
