Abstract
ABSTRACT
Actinobacillus ureae
, previously
Pasteurella ureae
, has on rare occasions been described as a cause of human infection. Owing to its rarity, it may not be easily identified in clinical microbiology laboratories by standard tests. This report describes a patient with acute bacterial meningitis due to
A. ureae
. The identity of the isolate was determined by means of DNA sequence analysis of a portion of the 16S rRNA gene.
