Staphylococcus lugdunensis is being increasingly reported as a pathogen with an outcome resembling that of S. aureus rather than coagulase-negative staphylococci. Recent local isolates exhibited colonial variation that delayed identification and interpretation of clinical significance. Until now previous descriptions have not emphasized colonial variation as an important identifying characteristic of S. lugdunensis.
路邓葡萄球菌作为一种病原菌的报道日益增多,其感染结果类似于金黄色葡萄球菌,而非凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌。最近分离出的本地菌株表现出菌落变异,这延迟了对其临床意义的鉴定和解读。到目前为止,以往的描述并未强调菌落变异是路邓葡萄球菌的一个重要鉴定特征。
