초록
To control for acute infectious disease, identification of the causative agent and determining the antibiotic susceptibility of the pathogen are crucial. If a particular organism is rare and relevant etiological information is scarce, it becomes difficult to determine appropriate antibiotic and therapy duration. Enterococcus hirae is a pathogen that infects animals, but rarely causes human infections. We present two cases of E. hirae-related pyelonephritis with successful treatment. Herein, our experience is discussed with relevant literature review.
Abstract
To control for acute infectious disease, identification of the causative agent and determining the antibiotic susceptibility of the pathogen are crucial.

Enterococcus hirae is a pathogen that infects animals, but rarely causes human infections. We present two cases of E. hirae-related pyelonephritis with successful treatment. Herein, our experience is discussed with relevant literature review.
