description Aerococcus urinae, a previously misidentified pathogen, has become increasingly recognized to cause severe and even fatal infections. Aerococcus-related perineal abscess infections have not previously been reported in the literature.

We report an unusual case of a perineal abscess caused by Aerococcus urinae.
