Oerskovia species: rare opportunistic pathogens

J G Cruickshank et al. J Med Microbiol. 1979 Nov.

Abstract

The second documented instance of opportunistic infection by member of the genus Oerskovia is reported. There is some evidence to suggest that this group of bacteria, which is extensively distributed in the soil, may be more closely associated with man than has hitherto been supposed.
