Abstract:
A decade ago we discovered a hitherto unrecognized Aerococcus-like organism (ALO) in urine specimens from patients with urinary tract infection. Further microbiological and clinical investigations enabled us to classify it as a human pathogen also causing urogenic septicaemia and endocarditis, the latter often with lethal outcome. The organism is now designated Aerococcus urinae.
