Staphylococcus pettenkoferi is a recently described coagulase-negative staphylococcal pathogen. We retrospectively reviewed 25 cases in which S. pettenkoferi was identified in routine cultures (12 blood, 13 other). Most were found with commensal flora and considered clinically insignificant, but its significance was uncertain in two cases from non-healing, deep foot wounds.
葡萄球菌 pettenkoferi 是一种最近描述的凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌病原体。我们回顾性分析了 25 例在常规培养中鉴定出葡萄球菌 pettenkoferi 的病例(12 例血,13 例其他)。大多数情况下,葡萄球菌 pettenkoferi 与共生菌群一起被发现,被认为临床意义不大,但在两例来自未愈合的深部足部伤口的病例中,其意义不确定。
