<i>Nocardia</i> Infection Presented as Intramuscular Abscess in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: Case Report and Literature Review

Given its prevalence amongst immunocompromised patients, Nocardiosis requires consideration in the differential diagnosis for the cause of atypical infections in transplant recipients. The antimicrobial susceptibilities of <i>Nocardia</i> are variable depending on species. Of key note, carbapenem resistance has been recently described in <i>N. pseudobrasiliensis</i>. This development should be considered when initiating antimicrobial therapy to ensure good patient response to treatment.
