  • Title: Identification and Clinical Significance of Helcococcus kunzii in Human Samples.
    Author: Vergne A, Guérin F, Lienhard R, Le Coustumier A, Daurel C, Isnard C, Marty N, Poyart C, Cattoir V.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2015 Aug; 53(8):2703-5. PubMed ID: 25994161.
    Abstract:
    From 2008 to 2013, 39 Helcococcus kunzii strains were collected from human clinical specimens (79% from foot ulcers), and 85% of the 39 patients were infected. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and molecular methods accurately identified all isolates. This large study of clinical observations confirms the potential pathogenic role of H. kunzii.
