Coagulase-negative staphylococci are generally not considered to be very virulent; they are an uncommon cause of native valve endocarditis. Staphylococcus lugdunensis is an important exception and causes more severe infections, clinically mimicking S. aureus. We present a case of direct Gerbode defect associated with S. lugdunensis native valve infective endocarditis (IE) requiring cardiac surgery.
凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌通常不被认为具有很强的致病性；它们是天然瓣膜心内膜炎的罕见病因。路邓葡萄球菌是一个重要的例外，可引起更严重的感染，临床上类似于金黄色葡萄球菌。我们报告一例与路邓葡萄球菌天然瓣膜感染性心内膜炎（IE）相关的直接Gerbode缺损病例，该病例需要进行心脏手术。
