As a coagulase negative Staphylococcus species, S. caprae is not considered as a clinically-significant member, unlike S. epidermidis. In this report, we describe a case of sepsis resulting from S. caprae infection. This relatively young woman was in generally good health and contracted S. caprae most probably during her treatment of an acute pulmonary embolism. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of this otherwise innocuous staphylococcal species in clinical settings.
作为一种凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌,山羊葡萄球菌不像表皮葡萄球菌那样被视为具有临床意义的成员。在本报告中,我们描述了一例由山羊葡萄球菌感染导致的败血症病例。这位相对年轻的女性总体健康状况良好,很可能在治疗急性肺栓塞期间感染了山羊葡萄球菌。本报告的目的是提高临床环境中对这种原本无害的葡萄球菌的认识。
