Abstract

We retrospectively analyzed seven patients with Actinotignum schaalii bacteremia in a tertiary hospital in Japan. Pyelonephritis was the most frequent source of bacteremia, followed by Fournier's gangrene and pyometra. All patients with pyelonephritis had underlying urological conditions, ureteral stents, nephrostomy, ureteral stones, or ureterocele.
