Gram positive bacilli in the urine are usually dismissed as contaminants in urine specimens as these are commensal flora of skin and mucous membranes. Corynebacterium species were misidentified in the past due to complex biochemicals but the advent of modern diagnostics has made their identification quicker and accurate. Corynebacterium species have recently emerged as pathogens of nosocomial outbreak potential. C. striatum has been identified as opportunistic nosocomial pathogen causing various infections. We report first case of C. striatum as nosocomial urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogen in a child with bilateral renal disease. C. striatum causing UTI is very rarely reported.
