We investigated the role of Staphylococcus saprophyticus in urinary tract infections in men. Of 9,314 urine specimens cultured from men in a veterans hospital only 3 (2 patients) yielded Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Thus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus rarely causes infection in older men and should not be sought routinely by microbiology laboratories in hospitals serving men primarily.
我们研究了腐生葡萄球菌在男性尿路感染中的作用。在一家退伍军人医院对男性患者培养的9314份尿液标本中,只有3份(来自2名患者)培养出了腐生葡萄球菌。因此,腐生葡萄球菌很少引起老年男性感染,主要为男性服务的医院微生物实验室不应常规检测该菌。
