  • Title: Staphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis.
    Author: Shuttleworth R, Colby WD.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1992 Aug; 30(8):1948-52. PubMed ID: 1500497.
    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.
