In vitro susceptibility of Nocardia asteroides to 25 antimicrobial agents.
Fifty-two clinical isolates of Nocardia asteroides were tested by agar dilution for their susceptibility to 25 antimicrobial agents. In general, susceptibility could not be predicted based on the antibiotic class tested. However, the beta-lactams, including third-generation cephalosporins, were generally ineffective (MIC for 90% of the organisms [MIC90], between 64 and greater than 256 microgra...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Nocardia asteroides to amikacin.
By drug dilution tests in agar, it has been shown that each of 27 strains of Nocardia asteroides was inhibited by 1 mug or less of amikacin per ml of medium.
متن کاملSusceptibility of Nocardia asteroides to new quinolones and beta-lactams.
The susceptibility of 31 strains of Nocardia asteroides to various quinolones and beta-lactams, as well as coumermycin, amikacin, and minocycline, was determined by the agar dilution technique. Ciprofloxacin was the most active fluoroquinolone tested on a weight basis, as it inhibited approximately 50% of the isolates at achievable drug levels in serum. Ceftriaxone and cefpirome were the most a...
متن کاملNocardia asteroides osteomyelitis.
Nocardia asteroides osteomyelitis has previously been described only in acutely ill patients. It may occur as an isolated event or part of the disease spectrum of disseminated nocardiosis. An 84 year old immune competent man with N. asteroides right tibial osteomyelitis had an unusual presentation, presumed mechanism of disease and outcome. His course affords an opportunity to review the litera...
متن کاملNocardia asteroides ocular infection
Methods The ocular samples viz., corneal swab, corneal scraping, aqueous tap and vitreous tap were processed for culture and the isolated Nocardia species were further confirmed for speciation by standard microbiological procedures. Antibiotic susceptibility analysis for the confirmed isolates of N. asteroides was performed by agar disk diffusion method following the guidelines of Clinical Labo...
