Abstract
S. lugdunensis has been isolated mainly in skin and soft tissue infections, as well as in surgical wounds. The microorganism was obtained in pure culture in 20 cases (74%). The proper identification of S.lugdunensis is important in order to avoid being ruled out as simple coagulase-negative staphylococci, and to give us a better understanding of infections caused by this microorganism.
