Staphylococcus lugdunensis cutaneous infection with sporotrichoid distribution. di Meo, Nicola; Trevisini, Sara; Noal, Cecilia; Nan, Katiuscia; Trevisan, Giusto

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.
