Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative organism first identified in 1988. It is often incorrectly identified as Staphylococcus aureus, and has been isolated as the etiological agent in over 20 cases of left-sided endocarditis. This report describes the first documented case of right-sided endocarditis caused by S lugdunensis. This experience suggests that S lugdunensis can infect native valves in the absence of any predisposing risk factors such as injection drug use.
路邓葡萄球菌是一种凝固酶阴性菌,于1988年首次被鉴定出来。它常被错误地鉴定为金黄色葡萄球菌,并且在20多例左侧心内膜炎病例中被分离为病原体。本报告描述了首例由路邓葡萄球菌引起的右侧心内膜炎的记录病例。这一病例表明,路邓葡萄球菌可在没有诸如注射吸毒等任何诱发危险因素的情况下感染天然瓣膜。
