Fifty-seven clinical isolates of previously unidentified gram-positive, fermentative, nonsporeforming rods were studied and compared to the type strains of Oerskovia turbata and O. xanthineolytica. Thirty-five of the isolates were identified as Oerskovia species: 9 were identified as O. turbata, and 26 were identified as O. xanthineolytica. The Oerskovia cultures could be differentiated from the other isolates on the basis of the development of filamentous colonies.
