- Isolated from the human vagina and urinary tract
- Cause of urinary tract infections1
- Related to hospital stays and catheterisation2
- Commensal of mammal skin3
- Grows best at between 30-40 °C
- Possible cause of miscarriages in cows and humans
- Associated with vertebral discitis, urinary tract infection, meningitis, bone infections, ventricular shunt infections and infective endocarditis
- Often considered a contaminant in other samples, but it’s difficult to know if this is accurate
