Taxonomy Family: Staphylococcaceae Natural habitats Isolated from the human and animal skin. Clinical significance S. sciuri and S. xylosus are commensals of the skin and the mucous membranes of many animalsand, occasionally of humans. They have a relatively low virulence and can cause infections in patients with lowered resistance, especially in immune compromised patients. CNS infections occur in implantation of foreign objects, such as intravenous catheters or bone prostheses. Is repeatedly CNS, in pure culture or in mixed culture isolated from the material, then this confirms the presence of an infection. The correct identification of CNS is necessary in order to get an idea of the pathogens in this group.

Taxonomy Family: Staphylococcaceae Natural habitats Isolated from skin and urine samples Clinical significance S. saprophyticus is commonly associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly in young, sexually active women. It is the second most common cause of uncomplicated UTIs. While it is generally less virulent than Staphylococcus aureus, it can cause cystitis and, in rare cases, pyelonephritis. It is usually sensitive to antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and nitrofurantoin, though resistance can occur. Viulence factors, adherence to uroepithelial cells, production of a hemagglutin, production of extracellular slime
Taxonomy Family: Staphylococcaceae Natural habitats They are part of the normal skin flora. Clinical significance S. haemolyticus and S .hominis are preferentially isolated from axillae and pubic areas high in apocrine glands They have a relatively low virulence and can cause infections in patients with lowered resistance, especially in immune compromised patients. CNS infections occur in implantation of foreign objects, such as intravenous catheters or bone prostheses. Is repeatedly CNS, in pure culture or in mixed culture isolated from the material, then this confirms the presence of an infection.

Taxonomy Family: Staphylococcaceae Natural habitats They are ubiquitous in nature and is part of the normal skin flora of poultry. Clinical significance S. gallinarum are found on several mammals and food products They have a relatively low virulence and can cause infections in patients with lowered resistance, especially in immune compromised patients. CNS infections occur in implantation of foreign objects, such as intravenous catheters or bone prostheses. Is repeatedly CNS, in pure culture or in mixed culture isolated from the material, then this confirms the presence of an infection.
