Staphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis.

R Shuttleworth and W D Colby

Department of Microbiology, University Hospital, London, Ontario, Canada.

ABSTRACT

Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a recently described coagulase-negative species which has been associated with human infections, including infective endocarditis. A case of native valve endocarditis caused by this organism is described. The initial laboratory detection of S. lugdunensis is facilitated by a positive test for ornithine decarboxylase. The identification of such isolates should not cause difficulty unless undue reliance is placed upon a small number of tests.
