Staphylococcus haemolyticus
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Bacteria
Phylum: Firmicutes
Class: Bacilli
Order: Bacillales
Family: Staphylococcaceae
Genus: Staphylococcus
Species: S. haemolyticus
Binomial name
Staphylococcus haemolyticus
Schleifer & Kloos 1975

Staphylococcus haemolyticus is a species of bacterium belonging to the genus Staphylococcus. It is a Gram positive coccus, coagulase negative, and catalase positive. Frequently found as a commensal organism on the skin of humans and animals, S. haemolyticus occurs infrequently as a cause of soft-tissue infections, usually in immunocompromised patients. [1]

S. haemolyticus is resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents.[2] Resistance to vancomycin has been recorded, and this is a cause for concern because such resistance could be acquired by other, more pathogenic staphylococci.

Treatment

Antimicrobial regimen

  • 1. Bacteremia: most often due to IV lines, vascular grafts, cardiac valves (30-40% of all coagulase-negative staphylococcus infections)
Note: Site sepcific recommendation for peripheral line is to remove line, antibiotics for 5-7 days and for central line may often keep line and systemic antibiotics for 2 wks with antibiotics lock.
  • 2. CSF shunt: meningitis
Note: Shunt removal usually recommended but variable. Vancomycin 22.5 mg/kg IV q12h and rifampin PO/IV and possible intraventricular antibiotics: Vancomycin 20 mg/day with or without Gentamicin 4-8 mg/day is recommended.
  • 3. Peritoneal dialysis catheter: peritonitis
Note: Site sepcific recommendation is to keep dialysis catheter (at least for first effort) and IV Vancomycin (usually 2 g IV/wk and redose when level <15 mcg/mL) with antibiotics lock for 10-14 days.
  • 4. Prosthetic joint: septic arthritis
Note: Site sepcific recommendation is typically remove joint (two stage more common than single stage replacement), antibiotics for 6 wks. If very early infection (less than 3 wks post-op, debridement and retention an option).
  • 5. Prosthetic or natural cardiac valve: endocarditis
Note: Site sepcific recommendation is consider valve replacement and antibiotics for 6 wks.
  • 6. Post-sternotomy: osteomyelitis
  • 7. Implants (breast, penile, pacemaker) and other prosthetic devices: local infection
Note: Site sepcific recommendation for vascular graft is to remove graft, antibiotics for 6 wks.
  • 8. Post-ocular surgery: endophthalmitis
  • 9. Surgical site infections
Note: only assume Methicillin susceptible if multiple isolates are so identified.
