| Description | Coagulase-negative staphylococci are opportunistic pathogens that can cause serious infection, particularly bloodstream infection, in compromised patients. Based on detailed phenotypic and genotypic analysis, a hemoculture isolate from a patient hospitalized in the Department of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation, University Hospital, Ostrava, was identified as Staphylococcus pettenkoferi, the last of the already described staphylococcal taxons. |
