Epidemiology and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents of the main<i>Nocardia</i>species in Spain

Short summary

Over a decade (2005-2014), Nocardia cyriacigeorgica, N. nova, and N. abscessus were the most common species in Spain, primarily infecting the respiratory tract (86%). While overall resistance to key agents like cefotaxime, imipenem, and tobramycin remained low (≤15%) for most species, N. abscessus, N. farcinica, and N. transvalensis showed significant declines in prevalence in the latter half of the study period.
