Staphylococcus lugdunensis cutaneous infection with sporotrichoid distribution. 2017

Nicola Di Meo, and Sara Trevisini, and Cecilia Noal, and Katiuscia Nan, and Giusto Trevisan

We report the occurrence of Staphylococcus lugdunensis cutaneous infection with sporotrichoid distribution of the left lower limb of a 60-year-old man. Recent studies have confirmed that Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a significant pathogen in causing skin and soft tissue infections that usually manifest in abscesses, surgical wound infections, and cellulitis. It used to be considered a skin commensal bacteria, but if unrecognized it can lead to  fulminant endocarditis, meningitis, skin abscesses, peritonitis, and spondylodiscitis.
