title: Defining the Clinical Significance of Alloscardovia omnincolens in the Urinary Tract.
abstract: The clinical significance of Alloscardovia omnincolens in the urinary tract has not been thoroughly evaluated. In this study, 15 patients with A. omnincolens present in their urine cultures were identified. A. omnincolens is only rarely associated with urinary tract symptoms and in some patients may play a commensal role.
