N. Schnitzler et al., STAPHYLOCOCCUS-LUGDUNENSIS - REPORT OF A CASE OF PERITONITIS AND AN EASY-TO-PERFORM SCREENING STRATEGY, Journal of clinical microbiology, 36(3), 1998, pp. 812-813
We report on a severe case of peritonitis due to Staphylococcus lugdun
ensis. The clinical course resembled an infection due to S. aureus mor
e than one due to other coagulase-negative staphylococci. Therefore, w
e strongly recommend identification and propose an easy-to-perform pro
cedure for screening of this pathogen.
