S. lugdunensis Native-Joint Septic Arthritis: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a skin commensal classified as a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS). Though CoNS is typically associated with less aggressive clinical disease than Staphylococcus aureus, there is growing awareness that S. lugdunensis may be as virulent as S. aureus. The association between S. lugdunensis and infective endocarditis is well known, but few reports of native-joi...

متن کاملClinical Significance of a Single Staphylococcus lugdunensis-Positive Blood Culture
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) cause human infections that characteristically involve indwelling medical devices with an infection course that is usually indolent. In contrast, Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a species of CoNS that can cause infection of either a device or native tissue with an aggressive clinical course more reflective of infection due to Staphylococcus aureus (4, 5). T...
متن کاملClinical characteristics and outcomes of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus septic arthritis
Objective: We investigated the clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and outcomes of community-acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) septic arthritis.

متن کاملMolecular Characterization of the Interaction of Staphylococcal Mscramms Clfa and Fbl with Fibrinogen
The ligand binding domain of the fibrinogen binding protein from Staphylococcus lugdunensis (Fbl) shares 60% sequence identity with clumping factor A (ClfA) of Staphylococcus aureus. Recombinant Fbl corresponding to the minimum fibrinogen-binding region (subdomains N2N3) was compared to ClfA for binding to fibrinogen. Fbl and ClfA had very similar affinities for fibrinogen by surface plasmon re...
