Blood culture of a male patient attending Sligo General Hospital became positive with a coryneform-like Grampositive rod, and phenotypic identification of the organism by the API Coryne kit (bioMerieux, France) yielded Oerskovia xanthineolytica (isolate identifier: 290703/S6645SLIGO). The isolate grew aerobically on blood agar at 37 C. However, given the relatively poor phenotypic identification obtained, the isolate subsequently was forwarded for molecular identification through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and direct sequencing of a large but partial region of the 16S rRNA gene, as previously described by this group. 1–3The resulting sequence obtained (1024 bp) was compared with those stored in the GenBank Data system using FASTA alignment software (www. ebi. ac. uk), and was deposited in GenBank (accession number: AY360351). On BLAST analysis in combination with previously reported criteria used for interpretation of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences, 4 the
