Abstract
- Staphylococcus schleiferi has been infrequently reported as a human pathogen. We experienced the case of vascular access infection by Staphylococcus schleiferi in a 65-year-old hemodialysis patient. Metastatic infection occurred despite the removal of infected focus and appropriate antibiotic therapy. This case highlights the importance of considering Staphylococcus schleiferi as a true pathogen in vascular access infection with hemodialysis patients.
