[Lactobacillus delbrueckii: probable agent of urinary tract infections in very old women].
Lactobacillus urinary tract infection (UTI) seems exceptionally reported. Nevertheless, with the introduction of a chromogenic medium UriSelect 4, eight cases of UTI in old women (mean of 81.2 years) mediated by Lactobacillus delbrueckii identified by DNA sequencing were reported between 2007 and 2009.
