PDF Clinical and microbiological features of Actinotignum

Aerococcus urinae is a Gram-positive alpha-hemolytic bacterium first isolated and identified from urine from patients with UTI (8). Since its discovery, A. urinae has been isolated from a wide variety of patients, both male and female, ranging from children to the elderly (9). Classification. Aerococcus urinae is a member of the bacterial genus Aerococcus.The bacterium is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative coccus growing in clusters.

This organism is closely related to Aerococcus viridans (which is usually PYR positive and LAP negative). In 1992, it was given its own unique classification. Aerococci occur naturally in dust, air, vegetation, and hospital environments. A. urinae has been known to cause urinary tract infections, bacteremia/septicemia, and Aerococcus-like organisms was clearly shown in a series of pio-neering works from Christensen and colleagues [6,10,19] leading to the deﬁnition of the new species A. urinae in 1992 [20], which encompasses most Aerococcus-like organisms [21].

Primary identiﬁcation is based upon Gram stain of alpha-hemolytic colonies which are catalase negative. Aerococcus species will appear as Gram-positive cocci in clusters, which differentiates these species from streptococci and enterococci (12).

Med alfa-streptokocker (engelska viridans-streptococci) avses ett antal olika arter av aeroba/fakultativt anaeroba grampositiva katalasnegativa kocker med liknande fenotypiska egenskaper som sammanförts till en grupp mer av praktiska än strikt taxonomiska skäl.

positive for A. urinae and Escherichia coli. Aerococcus urinae is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative coc-cus that was ﬁrst described in the 1990s as a causative organism of urinary tract infections (1). A. urinae levels of 0.3 to 0.8% in urine specimens are reported, with a preponderance in pa-tients with underlying urologic conditions (6, 8).

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. The Gram stain should be differential, as A. urinae forms pairs, tetrads, and clusters. However, since A. urinae shows smaller cocci and fewer tetrads than A. viridans does, it could be confused with pediococci or densely packed streptococci or enterococci. The first report on A. urinae was published in 1989 and the name designated in 1992 6 Isolates of A. urinae may easily be mistaken for staphylococci in gram stain, because they appear as gram-positive cocci that are arranged in tetrads or clusters.

16s rRNA sequencing and BBL‐Crystal‐GP identified the same 13 isolates as A. urinae. Aerococcus urinae ( Au) and Globicatella sanguinis ( Gs) are gram-positive bacteria belonging to the family Aerococcaceae and colonize the human immunocompromised and catheterized urinary tract.
