Abstract

Two patients who developed post-operative sternotomy infections due to Nocardia asteroides were treated successfully with ofloxacin, in vitro susceptibility of the organisms being used as a guide to dosage. The place of this drug in the treatment of infection due to Nocardia asteroides merits further investigation.
