Staphylococcus argenteus infection was initially described in Aboriginal patients in the Northern Territories of Australia as a predominant cause of skin infections and is rare outside Southeast Asia. A first well-characterized case of S. argenteus infection has now been described in the United States, involving a recurrent hemodialysis catheter infection, in which unstable daptomycin resistance evolved during daptomycin therapy. The unique colonial pigmentation of S. argenteus isolates in strains otherwise identified as Staphylococcus aureus is noteworthy.

案例评论：从北澳大利亚到旧金山，金黄色葡萄球菌对达托霉素的耐药性。

最初在澳大利亚北部地区的原住民患者中描述了金黄色葡萄球菌感染，这是皮肤感染的主要原因，在东南亚以外很少见。现在已经在美国描述了第一例特征明确的阿根廷链球菌感染病例，其中涉及复发性血液透析导管感染，其中在达托霉素治疗期间产生不稳定的达托霉素抗性。值得注意的是，在另外鉴定为金黄色葡萄球菌的菌株中，阿根廷链球菌分离株的独特的结肠色素沉着。
