“…In addition, S. haemolyticus are among the predominant organisms colonizing the periurethral and urethra in males and females, they regularly account for about 10% of UTIs [54,55]. Furthermore, S. haemolyticusassociated ventricular atrial shunt nephritis was recorded [56]. Moreover, S. haemolyticus causes meningitis in an allogeneic stem cell transplant patient following central catheterrelated bacteremia with no previous history of neurosurgical procedures [19].…”
