Abstract
A recurrent urinary tract infection with Actinobaculum schaalii, a fastidious, facultative anaerobic, and emerging pathogen, is described. Diagnosis was delayed when routine urine cultures were initially performed yielding recurrently negative results. Resolution of symptoms occurred after anaerobic cultures were done to allow organism isolation, identification, and appropriate antimicrobial treatment.
