ABSTRACTOf 137Staphylococcus lugdunensisisolates collected from two nephrology centers in Hong Kong, 10 (7.3%) and 3 (2.2%) isolates had high-level and low-level mupirocin resistance, respectively. Isolates with high-level resistance contained the plasmid-mediatedileS2gene, while isolates with low-level resistance contained the mutation V588F within the chromosomalileSgene. All but one of theileS2-positive isolates belong to the predominating clone HKU1. Plasmids carrying theileS2gene were mosaic and also cocarry multiple other resistance determinants.
