Observational study all infections in which isolated by microbiology department Hospital General San Jorge Huesca, Spain, between 2009 2016.

Some strains of the coagulase-negative Staphylococcus lugdunensis produce a synergistic hemolytic activity (SLUSH), phenotypically similar to the delta-hemolysin of S. aureus. Reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography of supernatants from S. lugdunensis 307 yielded three late-eluting peaks of 3.5 kDa with synergistic hemolytic activity. A degenerate oligonucleotide probe was designed fr...

33 Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus that is a commensal of 34 humans and an opportunistic pathogen. It can cause a spectrum of infections including those that are 35 associated with the ability to form biofilm such as endocarditis or indwelling medical devices. The 36 genome sequences of two strains revealed the presence of orthologues of the ica genes that are ...
