Streptococcal Infections and Treatments

Aerococcus urinae is rarely reported as a human pathogen. The pathogenesis of this gram-positive coccus is not fully understood. It has been identified as a cause of urinary tract infections but may be associated with severe infections such as endocarditis and septicaemia. This paper presents a case of lymphadenitis caused by A. urinae.
