Although Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a constituent of the normal human skin flora, it does have pathogenic potential. Infections can range from severe (eg, endocarditis, osteomyelitis) to less invasive skin and soft-tissue infections. We report a case of a subungual abscess in a patient with S lugdunensis infection.
