Staphylococcus lugdunensis can cause persistent skin infections. A decontamination strategy alongside antibiotics and surgery successfully cleared recurrent infections in two female patients.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus with features similar to Staphylococcus aureus.
  • Chronic, recurrent skin infections pose significant treatment challenges.

Observation:

  • Two female patients experienced persistent, purulent skin infections.
  • Previous treatments included antibiotics and surgical interventions without lasting success.

Findings:

  • Both patients achieved recurrence-free status after incorporating a decontamination strategy.
  • This suggests decontamination is crucial for managing recalcitrant S. lugdunensis skin infections.

Implications:

  • A decontamination approach may be essential for treating chronic Staphylococcus lugdunensis skin infections.
