Ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection caused by Actinomyces neuii subsp. neuii.

Actinomyces neuii subsp. neuii is a rare isolate in clinical specimens. The organism was previously designated CDC coryneform group 1 and was renamed in 1994. A case of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection caused by this organism is described.

Acute-onset endophthalmitis caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis

Purpose To report a series of patients with acute-onset bacterial endophthalmitis caused by culture proven Staphylococcus lugdunensis, and to characterize clinical outcomes and microbiologic susceptibilities of this organism. Observations The study included six eyes of 6 patients. The etiologies included cataract surgery (3), open globe injury (2), and intravitreal injection (1). Isolates of ...

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis.

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis is infrequently reported in clinical studies. Five cases of acute postcataract surgery endophthalmitis caused by S. lugdunensis were taken from a multicenter prospective study conducted in four university-affiliated hospitals in France (2004 to 2005). These cases were characterized by severe ocular inflammation occurring w...

Staphylococcus lugdunensis Pacemaker-related Infection

We report the first known case of a device-related bloodstream infection involving Staphylococcus lugdunensis small-colony variants. Recurrent pacemaker-related bloodstream infection within a period of 10 months illustrates the poor clinical and microbiologic response even to prolonged antimicrobial drug therapy in a patient infected with this staphylococcal subpopulation.
