摘要：

We report the. first known case of a device-related bloodstream infection involving Staphylococcus lugduneasis small-colony variants. Recurrent pacemaker-related bloodstream infection within a period of 10 months illustrates the poor clinical and microbiologic response even to prolonged antimicrobial drug therapy in a patient infected with this staphylococcal subpopulation.
