Abstract
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a Gram-positive, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus
(CNS) species that is found as a skin commensal and has been
implicated
in fulminant invasive diseases such as infective endocarditis. S. lugudunensis
infections resemble Staphylococcus aureus infections in terms of
virulence, tissue destruction and clinical course. Although correct identification
and determination of the susceptibility profile are important, some commercial
systems may misidentify S. lugdunensis . We report a case of native valve infective
endocarditis caused by S. lugdunensis , which was misidentified by the Vitek 2
system but identified correctly by 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing
in a 72-year-old male patient. The patient had multiple vegetations on his mitral
valve, and the largest one was found on the posterior mitral valve leaflet. It was 2.5
cm in size and hypermobile. Diffuse valvular abscess was also observed. He had
persistent bacteremia for appoximately 8 days, which was resolved after immediate
surgery and antibiotic therapy. When a patient with severe sepsis syndrome
grows S. aureus or CNS other than S. lugdunensis on a commercial automatic
culture system, the possibility of S. lugdunensis should be considered and further
confirmatory testing such as 16S rRNA sequencing may be very useful.
