In this population, cardiac implanted electronical devices (CIED) are not uncommon, but despite the capacity of <jats:italic>A. urinae<\/jats:italic> to form biofilm <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>, no cases of aerococcal CIED infections have been reported to date. <jats:italic>Case Presentation<\/jats:italic>. An 84-year-old male with pacemaker was admitted with dysuria one month after a transurethral procedure for urinary bladder cancer. <jats:italic>A. urinae<\/jats:italic> was isolated from urine and blood. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was without signs of vegetation on valves or pacing cables. The patient was treated with a twelve-day course of <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>-lactam antibiotics. Forty days after the initial admission, the patient was readmitted due to malaise, general pain of the joints, chills, and renewed blood cultures grew <jats:italic>A. urinae<\/jats:italic>. TEE demonstrated a 10\u2009\u00d7\u20095\u2009mm vegetation on either the tricuspid valve or one of the pacing cables. The pacemaker system was completely removed and demonstrated macroscopic signs of infection. A temporary system was implanted, and after 14 days of penicillin G treatment, a new system permanent system was implanted. Total treatment time was 40 days. Recovery was uneventful. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. This report demonstrates that <jats:italic>A. urinae<\/jats:italic> can cause CIED infection. In patients with <jats:italic>A. urinae<\/jats:italic> bacteremia and a CIED, this risk must be considered, especially if bacteremia reoccurs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/9128560","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,5]],"date-time":"2018-03-05T18:33:55Z","timestamp":1520274835000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Case of Pacemaker Endocarditis Caused by <i>Aerococcus urinae<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"given":"Sandra","family":"Samuelsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, Hospital of Halland, Halmstad, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Kennergren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, G\u00f6teborg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1588-5473","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Magnus","family":"Rasmussen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Division of Infection Medicine, Lund University, Lund, Sweden"},{"name":"Division for Infectious Diseases, Sk\u00e5ne University Hospital, Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/00221287-138-2-401"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1699-0463.1989.tb00828.x"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/clinids\/21.4.943"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diagmicrobio.2014.11.009"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-016-2594-z"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cmi.2015.09.026"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s15010-015-0812-8"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/iai.00469-10"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrmicro1425"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/circep.111.962753"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/48.5.653"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/bf02560511"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-0691.2011.03609.x"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Infectious Diseases"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2018\/9128560.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2018\/9128560.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2018\/9128560.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,5]],"date-time":"2018-03-05T18:33:55Z","timestamp":1520274835000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2018\/9128560\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018]]},"references-count":13,"alternative-id":["9128560","9128560"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2018\/9128560","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6625","2090-6633"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6625","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6633","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018]]}}}
