“…Corynebacterium urealyticum is an uncommon cause of urinary tract infections in small animals and is difficult to treat because it is resistant to most antibacterial agents. A case report describes the outcome of a female speyed dog that had had surgery for bilateral ectopic ureters 14 weeks before presentation . The authors show the radiographic and ultrasound features of the tract and the carbonate apetite uroliths that were voided after linezolid treatment and change to urine‐acidifying diet.…”

EquineA case report describes an attack of a mare and newborn foal by a swarm of bees, resulting in hundred of stings. 1 After initial symptomatic treatment, both developed diffuse swelling of the head and were reported to be very agitated, which I think seems to be a surprisingly calm description of how they must have been feeling. The authors give details of the mechanisms of bee envenomation and suggest that in the rare fatal cases, IgE-mediated anaphylaxis is the most likely cause of death rather than toxicity. They give details of the clinical outcome of these and the rational basis of any treatments, especially as no direct scientific studies will be possible. Small animalsA prospective study assessed three easily performed methods of skin surface sampling for bacterial culture of Staphylococcus isolates obtained from 27 dogs with superficial bacterial pyoderma (SBP). 2 Confirmed lesions were sampled using a dry cotton swab, a salinemoistened cotton swab and a skin surface scraping. Staphylococcus spp. were isolated from lesions in all dogs. The isolates were susceptible to common empirical antimicrobials and all three of the sampling techniques gave similar results for culture.A case report of an adult female koala was referred for assessment of buphthalmos and keratitis of the right eye, which was severe bs_bs_banner EDITORIAL EDITORIAL

“…It has also caused one case of encrusted prostatitis [9], as well as severe fatal septic shock in immunocompetent patients [10,11]. It has even been responsible for nephrolithiasis associated with C. urealyticum urinary tract infection (UTI) in a dog [12] Missing the diagnosis is not unusual since this germ has a lag phase higher than the regular conservation of urine culture (more than 48 h) and needs special culture media to grow in; therefore, it must be specified for the microbiologist. There is often a delay between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis, which is usually more than 1 month duration in all cases [8].…”

Arcanobacterium Pyogenes and Encrusted Pyelitis

et al. 2019

Aim: Trueperella pyogenes is known to affect cattle, but was never isolated as a cause of human urinary tract infections. Clinical case: A 69-year-old male presented for recurring low urinary tract symptoms after a 20-day ciprofloxacin regimen for prostatitis. He previously underwent open right nephrolithotomy and left ureterovesical junction reimplantation for an iatrogenic distal ureteral stricture. Computed tomography showed spontaneous cortical calcifications; renoscopy was performed and deep cultures from the pelvis were taken; culture on chocolate agar revealed T. pyogenes. Intravenous teicoplanin for 3 weeks resulted in resolution of low urinary tract symptoms with regression of bladder and ureteral thickening. Conclusion: T. pyogenes can cause encrusted pyelitis in humans especially evoked in a context of persisting or recurring urinary tract infections.

Carbonate apatite nephrolithiasis associated withCorynebacterium urealyticumurinary tract infection in a dog

Abstract: Treatment with the oxazolidinone antibacterial, linezolid, in combination with a urine-acidifying diet resulted in elimination of this multiresistant microorganism and complete resolution of nephrolithiasis.
