Staphylococcus lugdunensis is considered more pathogenic than other coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS), with its virulence resembling that of Staphylococcus aureus. We report a retrospective study of all S. lugdunensis infection cases during a 3.5-year period in a large tertiary university hospital in Greece. S.lugdunensis was susceptible to most tested antibiotics, although a high resistance percentage was found to clindamycin (27%) and erythromycin (25%). The susceptibility rate to penicillin was 49%, much lower than previously reported elsewhere, indicating that penicillin may not be an optimal treatment choice for S. lugdunensis infections in our region.
路邓葡萄球菌被认为比其他凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌（CoNS）更具致病性，其毒力与金黄色葡萄球菌相似。我们报告了一项对希腊一家大型三级大学医院3.5年期间所有路邓葡萄球菌感染病例的回顾性研究。路邓葡萄球菌对大多数测试抗生素敏感，尽管发现对克林霉素（27%）和红霉素（25%）的耐药率较高。对青霉素的敏感率为49%，远低于其他地方先前报道的水平，这表明青霉素可能不是我们地区路邓葡萄球菌感染的最佳治疗选择。
