Staphylococcus simulans was identified as the etiological agent of osteomyelitis and septic arthritis in an adult male who had sustained a fracture of the fibula and syndesmosis separation which required the installation of orthopedic hardware. Identifying characteristics and antibiograms for this organism, recovered from blood, wound exudate, and deep tissue samples, were determined. Recent evidence has linked slime production (adherence to smooth surfaces) by coagulase-negative staphylococci to infections by these organisms at sites where foreign bodies had been inserted. Tests for adherence showed this S. simulans strain to be a strong slime producer. This is the first reported case of osteomyelitis and septicemia due to S. simulans.
模仿葡萄球菌被确定为一名成年男性骨髓炎和败血症性关节炎的病原体,该男性腓骨骨折并伴有下胫腓联合分离,需要安装矫形硬件。对从血液、伤口渗出液和深部组织样本中分离出的这种微生物的鉴定特征和抗菌谱进行了测定。最近的证据表明,凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌产生的黏液(对光滑表面的黏附)与这些微生物在有异物植入部位的感染有关。黏附试验表明,该模仿葡萄球菌菌株是一种强大的黏液产生菌。这是首例由模仿葡萄球菌引起的骨髓炎和败血症病例报告。
