  Introduction: There are several predisposing factors in the urinary tract for the presence of bacteria, including lithogenic urine, such as hypocitraturia.
  Corynebacterium spp are currently described as associated with infection in relation to instrumental manipulation of the urinary tract, such as C. amycolatum.

  Clinical case: A thirteen-year-old adolescent with renal colic clinic, who needs admission for pain control. The colic is in the context of a family history of calcium lithiasis, in the urine the monomicrobial isolation of Corynebacterium aurimucosum was obtained in two repeated urine samples. Only with adequate antibiotic treatment according to antibiogram, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, colic pain and dysuria disappeared.

  Conclusion: Corynebacterium aurimucosum is a bacterium typical of the saprophytic flora of the female urogenital apparatus, in our case is associated with the clinic of renal colic and urinary infection. In certain situations, some low virulent germs and even urogenital commensals could behave as pathogens. This underlines the importance of collecting a urine culture prior to the initiation of empirical antibiotic therapy, at least in certain risk circumstances, such as prelithogenic urine.
