Antimicrobials tested for Nocardia species susceptilibilty include: amikacin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, doxycycline, imipenem, linezolid, minocycline, moxifloxacin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and tobramycin.

When this test is ordered, susceptibility for Nocardia species will be performed at an additional charge.
When the organism identification is Rhodococcus equi the additional reflex test will be performed at an additional charge for the additional antimicrobials vancomycin and rifampin.
