Characteristics and outcomes in adult patients with Staphylococcus lugdunensis bacteremia compared to patients with Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: a retrospective study in a 16-year period at the university hospital, Japan

Staphyococcus lugudnensis (S. lugdunensis) is one of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species with a potential to cause invasive infections. Few studies have evaluated the characteristics and outcomes of patients with S. lugdunensis bacteremia (SLB) compared with those of patients with Staphylococc...

Description
Summary:Staphyococcus lugudnensis (S. lugdunensis) is one of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species with a potential to cause invasive infections. Few studies have evaluated the characteristics and outcomes of patients with S. lugdunensis bacteremia (SLB) compared with those of patients with Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteremia. We performed a single-center retrospective case-control study of patients aged ≥ 18 who had SLB with at least two sets of positive blood cultures at the Kyoto University Hospital, Japan, from January 2005 to June 2022. Patients who had S. epidermidis bacteremia (SEB) with at least two sets of positive blood cultures and those who had S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) with at least one set of positive blood cultures were randomly selected in a 1:5:5 (SLB:SEB:SAB) ratio. A total of 22 patients with SLB, 110 patients with SEB, and 110 patients with SAB were included. The proportions of infective endocarditis (IE) and metastatic infections were statistically higher in the SLB group than in the SEB group (14% vs. 2%, p
