In an epidemic of prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis the surgeon was found to be the source of contamination. The probable route was accidental puncture of gloves during operation. During the epidemiological investigation a second cluster of patients contaminated with Staph epidermidis during open heart surgery was found also related to one surgeon. This strain caused no detectable signs or symptoms of infection. Carriage of virulent staph epidermidis has rarely been recognised as a hazard but may have serious consequences.
在一场由表皮葡萄球菌引起的人工瓣膜心内膜炎流行中，发现外科医生是污染源。可能的途径是手术过程中手套意外刺破。在流行病学调查中，还发现另一组在心脏直视手术期间被表皮葡萄球菌污染的患者，也与一名外科医生有关。该菌株未引起可检测到的感染迹象或症状。携带毒性表皮葡萄球菌很少被认为是一种危害，但可能会产生严重后果。
