Revealing the clinical relevance of <i>Staphylococcus borealis</i>
This study contributes novel knowledge on the clinical relevance of <i>Staphylococcus borealis</i>; this is of importance when clinical microbiologists encounter <i>S. borealis</i> identified in patient samples. <i>S. borealis</i> was mainly identified in microbiological specimens from middle-aged to elderly patients, predominantly males. Hospitalized patients were also frequently immunocompromised and had other underlying conditions accompanying a suspected S. borealis infection.
