Abstract

We report a case of septicaemia caused by Actinobaculum schalii, an Actinomyces-like bacterium, a Gram-positive, non-sporulating rod. The search for the bacterium is relevant in cases with unexplained pyuri and septicaemia, because it may cause severe infection in predisposed humans. The bacterium is susceptible to a wide range of antibiotics.
