This paper describes a case of bacterial pneumonia caused by N. otitidiscaviarum in a 79-year-old patient with corticosteroid-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A review of literature on common Nocardia infections and on the antibiotic (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, imipenem, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, levofloxacin, cefotaxime, and amikacin) susceptibility of Nocardia spp. is also presented.
