摘要：
Staphylococcus intermedius is a zoonotic organism that can be associated with human disease. We report two separate cases of S. intermedius infection in which a false-positive rapid penicillin binding protein 2a latex test in conjunction with the phenotypic properties of P-hemolysis and coagulase positivity allowed the clinical isolates to masquerade as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the absence of mecA revealed the strains to be methicillin-susceptible S. intermedius.
