Abstract
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is reported to be a highly virulent coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species, but whether it is an important pediatric pathogen is uncertain. At our pediatric center, only 2.1% (7/347) of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates were found to be S. lugdunensis, and only 1 isolate was considered possibly clinically significant.S. lugdunensis does not appear to be a common pathogen in children.Entities:
