Reported here is a case of native valve infective endocarditis in which Staphylococcus lugdunensis was isolated from blood cultures as well as from the mitral valve. It is suggested that tube coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from blood cultures of patients with infective endocarditis be considered carefully for possible clinical significance. The use of the ornithine carboxylase test as a simple screening method for identification of Staphylococcus lugdunensis is recommended.
本文报告了一例自体瓣膜感染性心内膜炎病例，其中从血培养以及二尖瓣中分离出了路邓葡萄球菌。建议对于从感染性心内膜炎患者血培养中分离出的凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌，应仔细考虑其可能的临床意义。推荐使用鸟氨酸脱羧酶试验作为鉴定路邓葡萄球菌的一种简单筛查方法。
