Urosepsis with <i>Actinobaculum schaalii</i> and <i>Aerococcusurinae</i>

Abstract

Actinobaculum was isolated from urine only after prolonged incubation in 5% CO(2) after discrepancy between urine Gram stain and initial culture results was observed. Additional patients were diagnosed using this method. The prevalence of Actinobaculum species in urinary tract infections is underestimated since it is not isolated by routine urine culture procedures.
