We present characteristics of infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis and compare with IE caused by Staphylococcus aureus and other CoNS, in the National Swedish Registry of IE (2008–2018). Thirty episodes of S. lugdunensis IE were registered, of which 21 cases affected native valves, and 7 patients were subjected to surgery. The mortality rate at 30 days was significantly higher for S. lugdunensis IE (20%, n = 6), than for IE caused by other CoNS (7%) or S. aureus (9%) p = 0.016. Septic embolisation was only reported in two cases (7%). The most common treatment was isoxazolyl penicillin (n = 18).

我们在瑞典国家 IE 登记处（2008-2018 年）中介绍了由路邓葡萄球菌引起的感染性心内膜炎 (IE) 的特征，并与由金黄色葡萄球菌和其他 CoNS引起的IE进行了比较。登记了 30 起S. lugdunensis IE发作，其中 21 例累及原生瓣膜，7 例患者接受了手术。S. lugdunensis IE (20%, n = 6)的 30 天死亡率显着高于其他 CoNS (7%) 或金黄色葡萄球菌(9%) p = 0.016 引起的 IE。脓毒性栓塞仅在 2 例（7%）中报告。最常见的治疗方法是异恶唑青霉素（n = 18）。
