Abstract

Aerococcus urinae is currently more frequently identified since the introduction of MALDI-TOF MS technique in routine laboratories. Serious infections such as endocarditis and spondylodiscitis are increasingly reported in the literature. This is a case of septic spondylodiscitis and bacteremia due to Aerococcus urinae with a urinary starting point.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
