Abstract

ABSTRACT A strain of Nocardia was isolated from cutaneous ulcers of a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient in Italy. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolate represented a strain of Nocardia asiatica . Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was essential to guide the clinicians to successfully treat this infection.
