“…. It has been reported to cause bacteremia (8,9), infective endocarditis (6,9,24,25), cerebrospinal fluid shunt infection (23), subdural empyema (20), vertebral osteomyelitis (3,4,10,25), and urinary tract infection (14). The distribution of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from blood at the Royal Children's Hospital comprises 80% S. epidermidis and 10% S. warneri, with S. capitis and S. hemolyticus making up almost all of the remaining isolates.…”

Between 1991 and 1995, an apparent high rate of Staphylococcus warneri bacteremias at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, raised the possibility of a virulent nosocomial strain. In a retrospective review of 30 S. warneri bacteremias in children, organisms were viable and verified in 22 episodes, 12 representing significant bacteremias. Of these 12 episodes, 2 pairs shared chromosomal DNA pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns in unconnected patients, dispelling concerns about a single virulent strain.

“…Occasionally, however, it causes septicaemia, 1 endocarditis, 1-6 discitis, 7 osteomyelitis, 3,5 subdural empyema 8 and urinary tract infections. 9 Most of the cases of S. warneri infections have occurred in immunocompromised patients.…”
