ABSTRACT

Staphylococcus capitis is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus species. It is a commensal bacterium of the skin, primarily the scalp. It is an unusual agent with a multidrug-resistant antimicrobial susceptibility profile. Multidrug-resistant S. capitis (MDR-SC) has been identified in catheter-related bloodstream infections in neonatal intensive care units in European countries. We present the clinical case of a male with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Catheter line infection was suspected, and S. capitis was isolated in blood culture. Treatment with vancomycin was initiated, with good outcome.
