Staphylococcus Lugdunensis Description and significance

Staphycoccus lugdunensis is deviated from the Latin translation of “Lyon,” which is the French city where the bacteria was first isolated3. Freney, Brun, Bes, Meugnier, Grimont, Grimont, Nervi, Fleurette isolated S. lugdunensis in 19882. S. lugdunensis may appear cream to golden, glistening and smooth, growing in pairs, clusters, or chains, but may also grow in individual colonies3. The cell is gram-positive, non-motile, and generally grows between .8 to 1.0 micrometers3. S. lugdunensis cells contain several surface proteins including protein C (IsdC), which aids in the formation of biofilms specifically in an iron depleted environment3. Cells also express other iron binding proteins (IsdJ and IsdK) and other receptors and transporters involved with the accumulation of iron1. This bacteria is known to primarily produce D-lactate2.
