Abstract

Technological advances during the last years in bacterial identification by molecular biology and mass spectrometry, or Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation-Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) have allowed identifying new bacteria involved in urinary tract infections. The purpose of this review is to familiarize clinicians with these bacteria so that they can look at a particular target population and help biologists to suspect and identify them. A bibliographic research was performed using the Medline database concerning the keywords Aerococcus, Actinobaculum, Alloscardovia, Trueperella. If Aerococcus sp. is now well known, Actinobaculum sp., Alloscardovia sp. and Trueperella sp. remain rarely isolated and unknown from clinicians. Importance of these germs could be underestimated because of the identifying and isolation difficulties which existed beforehand. They are particularly found in a population of elderly people with underlying conditions or urological risk factors of urinary tract infection. Actinobaculum schaalii is also found more frequently in young children. Aerococcus sp. et A. schaalii are true uropathogens not to be underestimated. Further studies are still needed to confirm the specific involvement of Trueperella...Continue Reading

Actinomycosis

Actinomycosis is a rare, chronic, and slowly progressive granulomatous disease caused by filamentous Gram positive anaerobic bacteria from the Actinomycetaceae family (genus Actinomyces). The disease is characterised by the formation of painful abscesses in the mouth, lungs,breast or gastrointestinal tract. Discover the latest research on actinomycosis here.
