Oligella is a genus of Gram-negative, aerobic bacteria from the family Alcaligenaceae.[2][3]
The genus Oligella includes at least two species. Oligella ureolytica is more prominent than O. urethralis.
Clinical significance
[edit]Clinical infections due to these organisms are rare. The common causes are related to the genitourinary tract and urinary tract obstruction.[4] Oligella spp. have also been detected in the ear canal and middle ear of people with chronic otitis media,[5][6] however the clinical relevance of these species for otitis media is poorly understood.
