Staphylococcus intermedius and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius are difficult to distinguish using conventional microbiological methods. Molecular diagnostic tools change our understanding of the epidemiology of these 2 organisms. In this study, we present (1) a detailed review of the current literature on molecular diagnostics and (2) a case series in which misidentification was proven in 1 case. We conclude that S pseudintermedius is a more common human pathogen than previously recognized.
中间葡萄球菌和中间葡萄球菌很难用传统的微生物学方法区分。分子诊断工具改变了我们对这两种生物体流行病学的理解。在本研究中,我们(1)详细回顾了目前关于分子诊断的文献,(2)报告了 1 例经证实的鉴定错误的病例系列。我们得出的结论是,中间假单胞菌是人病原体比以前认识到的更为常见。
