  • Title: Nocardial endocarditis of an aortic valve prosthesis.
    Author: Ertl G, Schaal KP, Kochsiek K.
    Journal: Br Heart J; 1987 Apr; 57(4):384-6. PubMed ID: 3555567.
    Abstract:
    The organism responsible for endocarditis of a prosthetic aortic valve was identified as Nocardia asteroides. The patient was treated with intravenous amikacin (250 mg four times a day) and intravenous imipenem (1.5 g four times a day). The valve was replaced under this new antibiotic regimen. This is the first report of survival after prosthetic valve nocardiosis.
