Sensitivity of Nocardia to trimethoprim and sulphonamides in vitro.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies in vitro of the sensitivity to trimethoprim and sulphonamides of nine strains of N. asteroides, two strains of N. caviae, and one of N. blackwellii are presented. No unequivocal evidence of synergism was found. Despite this, the inclusion of trimethoprim in the drug regime when sulphonamides are used in the treatment of nocardiosis is suggested on empirical grounds.

Problems in management of ulcerative keratitis may arise from delays in diagnosis and from inadequate response to treatment. In the present case, a corneal injury was followed by Nocardia asteroides keratitis. The organism isolated was sensitive in vitro to both sulphonamides and penicillin, but there was no satisfactory clinical improvement with sulphonamides alone. Good response to treatment ...

متن کاملFirst Report of the Isolation of Nocardia thailandica from the Bronchoalveolar Lavage of a Patient in Iran
Nocardiae are Gram-positive, filamentous, aerobic, relatively slow-growing, and weakly acid-fast bacteria which cause nocardiosis in humans. We describe a 53-year-old patient with chronic bronchitis referred to Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan. A bronchial washing sample was taken from the patient. A Nocardia-like microorganism was detected in microscopic evaluation. Based on the phenotypic and 16S r...
متن کاملDisseminated Nocardia Brasiliensis Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient.
A novel therapeutic approach for Nocardia infections is presented. We report the successful treatment of lymphocutaneous nocardiosis with a three-drug combination in an immunocompromised patient with in vitro susceptibility testing used to guide therapy. New therapeutic options are required in some patients due to their failure to respond to the treatment of choice, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazol...
متن کاملSulfonamide resistance in isolates of Nocardia spp. from a US multicenter survey.
Recent reports of increasing in vitro sulfonamide resistance in Nocardia prompted us to investigate the findings. Despite the reports, there is a paucity of clinical reports of sulfonamide failure in treatment of nocardia disease. We reviewed 552 recent susceptibilities of clinical isolates of Nocardia from six major laboratories in the United States, and only 2% of the isolates were found to h...
