We report a case of catheter-related bacteremia in a 63-year-old patient caused by Staphylococcus intermedius. Clinical resolution of the infection was obtained after removal of the intravenous device and antibiotic treatment. This observation emphasizes the risk of confusion between S. intermedius and Staphylococcus aureus if only a coagulase test is done.
我们报告一例63岁患者因中间葡萄球菌引起的导管相关菌血症。在移除静脉装置并进行抗生素治疗后,感染得到临床缓解。该观察结果强调了仅进行凝固酶试验时,中间葡萄球菌与金黄色葡萄球菌之间存在混淆的风险。
