We report on the isolation of two species of Actinobaculum from blood culture of a patient with chronic renal failure. The two isolates were distinct with regard to their morphological and biochemical characteristics. Subsequent 16S rRNA gene sequencing classified the two species as Actinobaculum schaalii and A. urinale.
