Nocardia farcinica infection of a cochlear implant in an immunocompetent boy

P Lanotte et al. Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis. 2001 Dec.

Abstract

The first case of an infection caused by Nocardia farcinica on a cochlear implant and its progression is described. As it is difficult to diagnose Nocardia spp., the identification was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis using 16S rDNA sequencing.
