Staphylococcus lugdunensis has been associated with a wide variety of infections, including cardiovascular infections (severe native and prosthetic valve endocarditis, myocarditis, and infected myxoma), empyema, osteomyelitis and prosthetic/native joints infections, skin and soft-tissue infections (furuncles, cellulitis, and abscesses), central nervous infections, peritonitis, endocephalitis ...
But, each type of skin infection caused by staph bacteria is different. A few common skin infections caused by staph bacteria are: Boils – Boils are the most common type of staph infection, they are pockets of white pus that start where a hair follicle or oil gland is. The boil is tender and red where the infection is located on the skin.
It was isolated in 2016 after Staphylococcus lugdunensis was identified as the species of bacteria from the human nose that suppressed growth of species of disease-causing bacteria in that part of the human microbiome. [1] [2] [3] Lugdunin is a non-ribosomally synthesized cyclic peptide that inhibits growth of Staphylococcus aureus strains.

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus aureus are more commonly found to be the cause of pyoderma in dogs who are experiencing the infection for the first time. [66] The symptoms of pyoderma include: pruritus (severe itchiness); dermatitis (general skin irritation); alopecia (hair loss); scaling/scabbing; and bloody and/or purulent ...
The new research found that once S. aureus invades a mouse's skin, it releases an enzyme called V8. That, in turn, activates a protein called PAR1, which is located on nerve cells in the skin.
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a condition caused by bacterial toxins. [1] Symptoms may include fever, rash, skin peeling, and low blood pressure. [1] There may also be symptoms related to the specific underlying infection such as mastitis, osteomyelitis, necrotising fasciitis, or pneumonia.
