Revealing the clinical relevance of Staphylococcus borealis

Abstract

This study contributes novel knowledge on the clinical relevance of Staphylococcus borealis ; this is of importance when clinical microbiologists encounter S. borealis identified in patient samples. S. borealis was mainly identified in microbiological specimens from middle-aged to elderly patients, predominantly males. Hospitalized patients were also frequently immunocompromised and had other underlying conditions accompanying a suspected S. borealis infection.
