Actinobaculum schaalii: identification with MALDI-TOF
Actinobaculum schaalii is an emerging uropathogen. So far, its identification has been performed with 16S rRNA gene sequencing or PCR. The diagnosis has often been delayed due to fastidious growth and identification problems. Eleven clinical isolates of A. schaalii from bloodstream infections that were initially identified with 16S rRNA sequencing analysis were recovered and later identified wi...
متن کاملUrosepsis with Actinobaculum schaalii and Aerococcus urinae.
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.
متن کاملActinobaculum schaalii: An Emerging Uropathogen?
A. schaalii is a rare uropathogen. We report urosepsis with Actinobaculum schaalii detected serendipitously in blood and urine culture in a 79-year-old with urinary tract obstruction. This paper illuminates the flaws in our current system in detecting A. schaalii and raises awareness among clinicians and laboratory teams.

not analyze changes in the outer membrane proteins responsible for alteration of permeability. Continual monitoring of drug resistance patterns is imperative. Antimicrobial drug susceptibility testing should be conducted for clinical isolates, and empirical antimicrobial drug therapy should be changed accordingly. AmpC β-lactamase genes will eventually be transferred to typhoidal salmonellae, w...
متن کاملActinobaculum schaalii an emerging pediatric pathogen?
BACKGROUND Actinobaculum schaalii was first described as a causative agent for human infection in 1997. Since then it has mainly been reported causing urinary tract infections (UTI) in elderly individuals with underlying urological diseases. Isolation and identification is challenging and often needs molecular techniques. A. schaalii is increasingly reported as a cause of infection in humans, h...
