Abstract

Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a member of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), an uncommon microbial culture isolate with virulent potency. Although CoNS are common skin commensals, and often regarded as contaminants or colonizers when isolated from clinical specimen cultures, the clinical course and microbiological characteristics of Staphylococcus lugdunensis may resemble those of Staphylococcus aureus rather than other CoNS. Invasive infectious diseases such as infective endocarditis, peritonitis, skin and soft tissue infection, vascular prosthetic infection, septicemia, and osteomyelitis have been found to be associated with Staphylococcus lugdunensis. Here we report the first case of psoas abscess caused by methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus lugdunensis in Korea.

S. lugdunensis는 피부에서 발견되는 CoNS 균주로 국내에서는 보고가 드문 균주이다. 피부 및 연부조직 감염, 관절염, 심내막염, 복막염, 뇌수막염, 골수염 등을 일으킬 수 있으며 패혈증까지 진행하기도 하는 독성 있는 균주이므로 임상 검체에서 S. lugdunensis가 동정되었을 때 오염균보다는 병원균일 가능성을 고려해야 한다. 저자들은 기저질환이 없는 젊은 여자에서 항생제 치료로 완치된 S. lugdunensis에 의한 요근 농양 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
