<i>Lactobacillus delbrueckii</i> subsp. <i>allosunkii</i> and <i>lactis</i> as emerging human uropathogens in elderly patients.

ABSTRACT: Lactobacillus delbrueckii has been considered a very rare cause of human urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, little is known about its clinical significance and antimicrobial susceptibility, and genomic data from clinical isolates are lacking. This study aimed at analyzing clinical, microbiological, and genomic data of L. delbrueckii urinary isolates. All L. delbrueckii isolates collected from patients hospitalized in a French university hospital from 2014 to 2016 were included. Clinical and biological data were gathered. Species identification was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, and MICs were determined using the broth microdilution method. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was conducted (Illumin
