Epidemiology and Drug Resistance of Pulmonary Nocardiosis Among Tuberculosis-Suspected Patients in Guangzhou, China

This study elucidates the epidemiological characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of <i>Nocardia</i> infections in Guangzhou, providing valuable insights for early diagnosis and targeted therapy. Morphological analysis serves as an effective tool for reducing the risk of misdiagnosing <i>Nocardia</i> as mycobacteria. Future efforts should focus on optimizing detection methods and conducting multicenter studies to better understand prevalence trends and resistance mechanisms, ultimately improving clinical management.
