Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis carrying SCCmec type V misidentified as MRSA.
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a rare cause of severe infections and clinical manifestations are similar to those related to S. aureus infection. We describe a hospital-acquired bacteremia due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis, misidentified as methicillin-resistant S. aureus. The oxacillin MIC was 16 µg/mL and the mecA gene and SCCmec type V were determined by PCR. Although tr...
متن کاملMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and multidrug resistant
The first of these articles reviews the epidemiology of MRSA and its clinical importance in a healthcare setting. The methods of controlling the spread of hospital acquired MRSA are discussed with an emphasis on the role of screening staff for MRSA. Relevant papers for the review were identified by a systematic literature search on Medline. The prevalence of MRSA is increasing in the United Kin...

متن کاملColony variation in Staphylococcus lugdunensis.
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 characteris...
متن کاملSevere Staphylococcus lugdunensis keratitis
We report a severe case of Staphylococcus lugdunensis (S. lugdunensis) keratitis presenting as suppurative keratitis in a 77-year-old woman. The patient's chief complaint was eye pain and decreased visual acuity in her right eye. Suppurative keratitis with a severe corneal abscess was diagnosed by a slit-lamp ophthalmic examination. The causative organism was identified as S. lugdunensis by bac...
