Sumario: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).
