Using disk diffusion and agar dilution methods, 109 clinical isolates of
Nocardia
were tested against 10 antimicrobial agents. A species difference in susceptibility was noted for cefamandole, carbenicillin, gentamicin, and kanamycin. These differences in susceptibility may be of use taxonomically as well as having some potential use clinically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
