Staphylococcus pettenkoferi is a relatively recently described coagulase-negative staphylococci species first described in 2002. Since then, nine additional cases of infection caused by this species have been reported in various countries around the world, including Germany, Belgium, France, South Korea, Italy, Brazil and Mexico. The present report describes a case of S pettenkoferi peripheral line-associated bacteremia. To our knowledge, the present report is the first description of human infection caused by S pettenkoferi in Canada. The present report also provides an overview of the laboratory detection of uncommon coagulase-negative staphylococci.
佩滕科费葡萄球菌是一种相对较新描述的凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌,于2002年首次被描述。从那时起,全球多个国家报告了另外9例由该菌种引起的感染病例,包括德国、比利时、法国、韩国、意大利、巴西和墨西哥。本报告描述了一例佩滕科费葡萄球菌外周静脉导管相关菌血症病例。据我们所知,本报告是加拿大首例关于佩滕科费葡萄球菌引起人类感染的描述。本报告还概述了罕见凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌的实验室检测方法。
