Taxonomy
Family: Aerococcaceae

Natural habitats
A. urinae is a rarely reported pathogen, possible due to the difficulties in the identification of the organism.

Clinical significance
Isolates of this species were originally isolated from the urine of (older) patients with urinary tract infections and were denoted Aerococcus-like organisms.

Infections with this bacterium has likely been underestimated.

A. urinae may also cause invasive infections including urosepsis, lymphadenitis, spondylodiscitis and infective endocarditis especially in elderly men with underlying urinary tract diseases.
