Some Aerococcus-like organisms (ALOs) have recently been described in Denmark. The bacteria were originally isolated from the urine of elderly patients with urinary tract infections. Since 1987, we have identified 17 cases of bacteremia/septicemia in which ALOs have been isolated in pure culture of blood; we report the data from these cases. Six of the patients presented with endocarditis, eight presented with urosepticemia, and three presented with septicemia. In all but one of the reports, the urinary tract was suspected as the focus of infection, and ALOs were isolated from the urine of nine patients. All but one patient had predisposing illnesses; these were predominantly of urinary or cardiac origin. Five patients died of their infection, two survived the infection but eventually died during hospitalization, and 10 recovered. All of the patients received adequate antimicrobial therapy.
丹麦最近报道了一些类气球菌属微生物（ALOs）。这些细菌最初是从患有尿路感染的老年患者尿液中分离出来的。自1987年以来，我们已经鉴定出17例菌血症/败血症病例，其中ALOs是从血液纯培养物中分离出来的；我们报告这些病例的数据。6例患者患有心内膜炎，8例患有泌尿道败血症，3例患有败血症。在除一份报告外的所有报告中，泌尿道被怀疑是感染源，9例患者的尿液中分离出了ALOs。除1例患者外，所有患者都有易感疾病；这些疾病主要源于泌尿或心脏。5例患者死于感染，2例感染后存活但最终在住院期间死亡，10例康复。所有患者均接受了充分的抗菌治疗。
