Abstract
- Enterococcus hirae is a member of the Enterococcus genus and is known to cause infections in animals, but it is uncommonly encountered in clinical isolates from humans. We isolated E. hirae from blood of a patient with acute pyelonephritis and sepsis. This is the first case report of bacteremia caused by E. hirae in Korea.
