Abstract Enterococcus hirae is rarely collected from man, while it is a common pathogen in mammals and birds. We describe the first isolation of the organism (strain DSM 27815) from human umbilical cord blood (UCB), thus emphasizing the risk of contamination of UCB units for clinical use. In this context, we also highlight the importance of an extensive training of the collecting personnel as to the observance of the disinfection protocol ensuring UCB units sterility.
