(2010). Aerococcus urinae and Aerococcus sanguinicola, two frequently misidentified uropathogens. Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases: Vol. 42, No. 10, pp

Aerococcus species är närbesläktade med enterokocker. De finns i miljön, men kan också isoleras från human hudflora. A. urinae och A.sanguinicola förekommer vid urinvägsinfektion, septikemi, endokardit och meningit. A. viridans förekommer vid urinvägsinfektioner om predisponerande faktorer finns. Har isolerats vid endokardit.

However, the clinical significance, phenotypic features and antimicrobial susceptibilities of these underestimated and/or misidentified species remain unclear. From March 2006 to November 2008, among 350 non-enterococcal Streptococcaceae species 2020-04-23 and susceptibility testing were performed with automatic Vitek 2 system (bioMerieux). A. urinae was identified, with susceptibility to Penicillin G, Levofloxacin, Tetracycline and Vancomycin and resistance only to Gentamycin and Trimethoprim-Sulfamthoxazole (SXT). Keywords: Aerococcus urinae, UTI, diagnosis, antibiotic resistance 2016-04-21 Abstract. A retrospective chart review was performed on 92 patients from whom 118 isolates of Aerococcus sanguinicola (n = 52) or Aerococcus urinae (n = 66) were obtained from urine cultures between October 2007 and June 2008 to assess clinical presentation and antimicrobial susceptibilities.

Since Aerococcus sanguinicola was designated as a species in 2001, only a few cases of bacteremia have been reported. The aim with this study was to describe the clinical presentation of A sanguinicola bacteremia and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility and the capacity of the bacteria to form biofilm and to induce platelet aggregation. as Aerococcus sanguinicola by 16S rDNA sequencing and thus disregarded. The other isolate identiﬁed by the Vitek 2 system had not survived freezing, making further analysis CMI Senneby et al. Aerococcus urinae bacteraemia 547 ª2011 The Authors (2010). Aerococcus urinae and Aerococcus sanguinicola, two frequently misidentified uropathogens.

Aerococcus urinae is a rare organism infrequently isolated from cultures. Mostly known to cause urinary tract infection, it can cause bacteremia leading to severe urosepsis and infective endocarditis. Embolization is frequently reported with Aerococcus urinae endocarditis (AUE); hence, the presentation is highly variable.

The genera Abiotrophia and Granulicatella accommodate organisms previously known as nutritionally variant or satelliting streptococci. Most of the genera described here are catalase-negative facultative Aerococcus sanguinicola corrig.

Aerococcus sanguinicola is a cause of urinary tract infections, blood stream infections, and infective endocarditis (IE).

Based on the results we draw to the conclusion that breakpoints for penicillin established by EUCAST could be used to interpret susceptibility to cefuroxime and ceftriaxone. A. sanguinicola are catalase-negative, vancomycin-susceptible, gram-positive cocci arranged in clusters and tetrads, as are all Aerococcus species except A. christensenii (which is arranged in short chains). Aerococci urinae is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative, bacterium that grows in clusters, often appearing in colonies that resemble Streptococci viridans [ 1 ].

The bacterium is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative coccus growing in clusters. Isolates of this genus were originally isolated in 1953 from samples collected in the air and dust of occupied rooms and were distinguished by their tetrad cellular arrangements.

Den första arten, A. viridans, beskrevs 1953 och kopplingar gjordes mellan den och en allvarlig sjukdom hos hummer. Det skulle dröja åtskilliga decennier innan nästa aerokockart, A. urinae, upptäcktes.

The lack of standardized methods and interpretive criteria and the relatively small collections of isolates for some of the genera discussed in the chapter make it difficult to accurately assess antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.
