title: Bloodstream infection with Oligella ureolytica: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Oligella ureolytica is an emerging bacteria rarely implicated as a human pathogen. It is mostly recovered from urinary and respiratory tract specimens as a commensal organism, but very seldom from bloodstream infections. It is rarely reported in the literature, probably due to misidentification of the organism or uncertainty of its pathogenicity.
