<em>In Vitro</em> Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Animal <em>Nocardia</em> Isolated from Field Cases of Skin Diseases
In vitro antimicrobial tests were carried out on strains of Nocardia isolated from field cases of cutaneous nocardiosis in farm animals. Results with the disc diffusion test showed the multiresistant nature of the isolates, but 23.81 and 21.43% were sensitive to ciprofloxacin and gentamycin, respect...
