Description:We reviewed invasive | infections in 3 noncontiguous geographic areas in the United States during 2011–2018. Among 268 patients with invasive nocardiosis, 48.2% were from Minnesota, 32.4% from Arizona, and 19.4% from Florida. Predominant species were | complex in Minnesota (33.4%), | in Arizona (41.4%), and | in Florida (17.3%). Transplant recipients accounted for 82/268 (30.6%) patients overall: 14 (10.9%) in Minnesota, 35 (40.2%) in Arizona, and 33 (63.5%) in Florida. Manifestations included isolated pulmonary nocardiosis among 73.2% of transplant and 84.4% of non–transplant patients and central nervous system involvement among 12.2% of transplant and 3.2% of non–transplant patients. | (20.7%) and | (19.5%) were the most common isolates among transplant recipients and | (38.0%), | (23.7%), and | (16.1%) among non–transplant patients. Overall antimicrobial susceptibilities were similar across the 3 study sites.
