A rare case of histopathological bladder necrosis associated with Actinobaculum schaalii: the incremental value of an accurate microbiological diagnosis using 16S rDNA sequencing.
We describe here a rare case of bladder wall necrosis associated with Actinobaculum schaalii in a 72-year-old patient with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). A. schaalii microbiological diagnosis requires high index of suspicion and accurate identification methods such as 16S rDNA sequencing or MALDI-TOF Mass spectrometry.
