摘要：

Enterococcus hirae, member of theEnterococcus genus known to cause infection in animals, is rarely encountered in clinical practice. There are no published reports describing clinical features ofEnterococcus hirae infection in humans. A case ofEnterococcus hirae septicemia in a 49-year-old patient with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis is reported here. A review of the available literature regarding the clinical spectrum ofEnterococcus hirae infection in humans and the antimicrobial susceptibility ofEnterococcus hirae is also included.
