Abstract
Staphylococcus sciuri and Escherichia vulneris were isolated concurrently in a blood sample from a patient with septic shock, which was probably associated with an indwelling catheter. Our results also showed that S. sciuri is an important reservoir of genetic determinants of β-lactam resistance as a human pathogen carrying the mecA and β-lactamase genes.Keywords
