Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a rare virulent coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS) that behaves similarly to Staphylococcus aureus in causing deep abscesses, skin and soft tissue infections, and central nervous system infections. Additionally, there can be certain blood stream infections including sepsis, septic shock, toxic shock syndrome, and endocarditis complicated by embolic events. Reports of septic arthritis of a native joint associated with this organism have been infrequent, justifying the presentation and discussion of this case.
路邓葡萄球菌是一种罕见的具有强毒力的凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌（CoNS），在引起深部脓肿、皮肤和软组织感染以及中枢神经系统感染方面，其表现与金黄色葡萄球菌相似。此外，还可能发生某些血流感染，包括败血症、感染性休克、中毒性休克综合征以及并发栓塞事件的感染性心内膜炎。与该病原体相关的天然关节化脓性关节炎的报道并不常见，这使得本病例的呈现和讨论具有意义。
