| Abstract |
Sixty four year male with human immunodeficiency virus infection admitted for treatment of acute complicated pyelonephritis by polymicrobial infection of Aerococcus urinae and Aerococcus sanguinicola. Although Gram stain of isolates from positive blood culture showed cluster-like form, α hemolytic two type colony were observed on blood agar medium. Result of Rapid ID 32 STREP (Sysmex Biomerieux. France) from isolates of blood culture indicated A. uniae and A. viridans. On the other hand, analysis of the 16S rRNA gene using DNA extracted from the same isolates identified A. urinae and A. sanguinicola. We concluded as infection due to A. urinae and A. sanguinicola. A few previous report about these organism were bacteremia or infective endocarditis other than urinary tract infection. In additon, these infection were usually due to single organism. Careful observation of medium might lead to certain diagnosis. Our case was considered as rare case for polymicrobial infection of Aerococcus spp. |
