During the past 3 decades, a large number of novel Actinomyces species have been …

The genus Actinotignum contains three species, Actinotignum schaalii (formerly
Actinobaculum schaalii), Actinotignum urinale and Actinotignum sanguinis. A. schaalii is the …

Bacterial DNA and live bacteria have been detected in human urine in the absence of
clinical infection, challenging the prevailing dogma that urine is normally sterile. Urgency …

Actinomycosis is a chronic, suppurative, granulomatous infectious disease, caused by
different species of Actinomyces bacteria. To date, 26 validly published Actinomyces species …

Purpose: We used the PathoScope platform to perform species level analyses of publicly
available, 16S rRNA pyrosequenced, asymptomatic urine data to determine relationships …

The urinary bladder harbors a community of microbes termed the urobiome, which remains
understudied. In this study, we present the urobiome of healthy infant males from samples …

The advent of sensitive enhanced culture (metaculturomic) and culture-independent DNA-
based (metagenomic) methods has revealed a rich collection of microbial species that …

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 …

Actinotignum schaalii is a recognised cause of urinary tract infection. Following a case of
urosepsis, 20 isolates of A. schaalii were collected over an initial 18 month period from urine …

Actinotignum schaalii (former named Actinobaculum schaalii) can cause urinary tract
infections (UTIs) and bacteraemia, mainly in the elderly. A. schaalii is difficult to identify with …
