Staphylococcus simulans: A rare uropathogen

Ana Drobeniuc et al. IDCases. .

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are clinically and economically burdensome. Gram positive causative uropathogens are rare, and Staphylococcus simulans has infrequently been isolated as a causative agent for UTIs. Here, we present two cases of S. simulans causing complicated urinary tract infections.

Keywords: Complicated urinary tract infections; Staphylococcus simulans; Zoonoses.
