We present the case of polymicrobial pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) that involved Staphylococcus sciuri, S. epidermidis, and Streptococcus agalactiae. In order to determine the frequency of S. sciuri isolation from the female lower genital tract, 3415 vaginal samples were analysed during the one-year study period. S. sciuri was isolated from three (0.09%) samples. In all the three cases, S. sciuri was obtained in mixed culture from outpatients without symptoms of infection. While the origin of S. sciuri in the female genital tract remains to be elucidated, the present study showed that this bacterium may colonize vagina and, moreover, may be involved in the pathogenesis of an infection as serious as PID. The low rate of isolation we established, however, indicates infrequent and, most probably, transient colonization of the female genital tract by S. sciuri.
我们报告了一例由松鼠葡萄球菌、表皮葡萄球菌和无乳链球菌引起的多微生物盆腔炎性疾病（PID）病例。为了确定从女性下生殖道分离出松鼠葡萄球菌的频率，在为期一年的研究期间分析了3415份阴道样本。从三份（0.09%）样本中分离出了松鼠葡萄球菌。在所有这三例病例中，松鼠葡萄球菌均从无症状感染的门诊患者的混合培养物中获得。虽然松鼠葡萄球菌在女性生殖道中的来源尚待阐明，但本研究表明，这种细菌可能在阴道定植，而且可能参与像PID这样严重感染的发病机制。然而，我们确定的低分离率表明松鼠葡萄球菌在女性生殖道中的定植并不常见，而且很可能是短暂定植。
