Family:	Aerococcaceae
Genus:	Aerococcus
Species:	A. sanguinicola
Binomial name
	Aerococcus sanguinicola;

Aerococcus sanguinicola is a member of the bacterial genus Aerococcus and is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative coccus growing in clusters. This species was defined in 2001 ^[1] and has since then been increasingly recognized as a pathogen causing urinary tract infections ^[2]^[3] and also invasive infections including infective endocarditis.^[4] Commercially available biochemical tests fail to properly identify A. sanguinicola ^[5] and correct identification can be achieved through genetic or mass spectroscopic methods, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF).^[6] A. sanguinicola is, with A. urinae, the most common aerococcus isolated from urine, but from blood, A. urinae is much more commonly encountered.
