A Case of Pacemaker Endocarditis Caused by Aerococcus urinae. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis, 2018
Background. Aerococcus urinae has lately been acknowledged as a cause of infective endocarditis (IE) especially in older males with underlying urinary tract disorders. In this population, cardiac implanted electronical devices (CIED) are not uncommon, but despite the capacity of A. urinae to form biofilm in vitro, no cases of aerococcal CIED infections

Aerococcus urinae tricuspid valve infective endocarditis. [PDF]

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent), 2022
Aerococcus urinae is an alpha-hemolytic, gram-positive coccus that is responsible for 54/1,000,000 cases of all urinary tract infections. Risk factors include male gender, advanced age, and genitourinary tract abnormalities. It has often been misidentified as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus due to its morphological similarities.

<i>Aerococcus urinae</i> Spondylodiscitis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Background: Aerococcus urinae, a rare human pathogen, mainly causes urinary tract infection, endocarditis, and bacteremia. However, it is rarely the cause of other types of infection such as spondylodiscitis. Invasive A. urinae infection chiefly occurs in older men with underlying urinary tract disorders.
