Summary: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.
