Background  Several reports have associated  Staphylococcus lugdunensis  with the incidence of severe infection in humans; however, the frequency and prevalence of this microorganism and thus the propensity of its antimicrobial drug resistance is unknown in China. The objective of the current study was to determine the prevalence of  Staphylococcus lugdunensis  among six hundred and seventy non-replicate coagulase negative  Staphylococcus  (CoNS) isolates collected in a 12-month period from clinical specimens in the General Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army in Beijing, China.    Results  Five (0.7%) of the 670 isolates of CoNS were identified as  S. lugdunensis . Whereas three isolates were resistant to erythromycin, clindamycin, and penicillin and carried the  ermC  gene and a fourth one was resistant to cefoxitin and penicillin and carried the  mecA  gene, one isolate was not resistant to any of the tested antimicrobials. Pulse field gel electrophoretic analysis did not reveal widespread epidemiological diversity of the different isolates.    Conclusion  Hence, even though  S. lugdunensis  may be yet unrecognized and undefined in China, it still might be the infrequent cause of infection and profound multi-drug resistance in the same population.
