Catheter-related bacteremia associated with coagulase-positive Staphylococcus intermedius

F Vandenesch et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1995 Sep.

Abstract

We report a case of catheter-related bacteremia in a 63-year-old patient caused by Staphylococcus intermedius. Clinical resolution of the infection was obtained after removal of the intravenous device and antibiotic treatment. This observation emphasizes the risk of confusion between S. intermedius and Staphylococcus aureus if only a coagulase test is done.
