Molecular identification of Nocardia species causing endophthalmitis using multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA): a 10-year perspective.

Conclusions. N. farcinica is the major pathogen, and this is the first report to identify N. otitidiscaviarum, N. amikacinitolerans and N. higoensis as causing endophthalmitis. Overall, visual outcomes were mostly poor even after aggressive management.
