Abstract
Staphylococcus pettenkoferi is a coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) of growing concern. As CoNS could be an important cause of infections in hospitalized patients, especially in immunocompromised patients, accurate identification is critical to timely and effective treatment. In the past, S. pettenkoferi was not identifed by conventional methods or was misidentified as another Staphylococcus species or another genus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of S. pettenkoferi identified using Vitek MS (bioMérieux, France). Two patients admitted to our hospital were confirmed to have bacteremia caused by S. pettenkoferi, which was identified in blood cultures using Vitek MS (bioMérieux). Therefore, we recommend using the Vitek MS (bioMérieux) for rapid and accurate identification of the pathogen causing bloodstream infection when CoNS is suspected.
Staphylococcus pettenkoferi는 비교적 최근에 논의되고 있는 coagulase 음성 포도상구균(CoNS)이다. CoNS는 입원 환자, 특히 면역저하자의 감염에 중요한 원인균이 될 수 있으므로 적절한 치료를 위해 정확하게 동정하는 것이 중요하다. 과거에 S. pettenkoferi는 전통적인 방법으로는 동정되지 않거나 다른 포도상구균 또는 다른 속으로 분류되었다. 저자의 확인에 의하면 이 보고는 Vitek MS (bioMérieux, France)로 S. pettenkoferi가 동정된 최초의 예이다. 본 병원에 입원한 환자 두 명이 혈액배양에서 Vitek MS (bioMérieux)로 S. pettenkoferi 감염이 확진되었다. 따라서 저자는 균혈증에서 CoNS 감염이 의심될 때 Vitek MS (bioMérieux)에 의한 병원균의 신속하고 정확한 동정을 추천한다.
