“…It has been recognized for many years that coagulase-negative staphylococci are rarely responsible for human disease (Cuncliffe & Gilliam, 1943;Matthew, 1951;Quinn & Fisher, 1964). Experimental studies also may demonstrate, in certain models, a maintenance of virulence in the face of a lack of coagulase (Kapral & Li, 1960).…”

“…The white cell count was 11,700, 12,900, 22,000, and 17,800 per cubic millimeter between March 27 and May 10. There was some improvement, and he was discharged on June 1, 1944. He was readmitted on Jan. 8,1950, and discharged on March 16, 1950. At this time he had had diabetes for two years and was treated for a sore on his heel.…”

Porcelain-white colonies of Staphylococcus albus in cultures from patients usually are dismissed as nonpathogenic commensals or as contaminants. The recent occurrence of S. albus septicemia in three patients after valvulotomy for mitral stenosis led us to reexamine this subject.Reviews of subacute bacterial endocarditis both in the past and recently show that approximately 1% of cases are caused by S. albus. A survey 36 of cases of staphylococcal bacteremia at this hospital in the years 1936 to 1955 showed that 5 of the 338 cases were caused by this organism. The criteria used for the diagnosis of S. albus septicemia in this study are that the organism should be isolated on two or more occasions from the blood of a sick person with evidence of generalized disease and that no other pathogens should be isolated from the blood. S. albus has for the purpose of this study been accepted as an organism which produces porcelain-white or indifferently colored colonies but never produces a yellow or golden pigment. In the four strains studied in detail mannitol was not fermented and coagulase was not formed.To the five cases from the records at the University
