We present characteristics of infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis and compare with IE caused by Staphylococcus aureus and other CoNS, in the National Swedish Registry of IE (2008-2018). Thirty episodes of S. lugdunensis IE were registered, of which 21 cases affected native valves, and 7 patients were subjected to surgery. The mortality rate at 30 days was significantly higher for S. lugdunensis IE (20%, n = 6), than for IE caused by other CoNS (7%) or S. aureus (9%) p = 0.016. Septic embolisation was only reported in two cases (7%). The most common treatment was isoxazolyl penicillin (n = 18).
