Taxonomy
Family: Staphylococcaceae

Natural habitats
They are ubiquitous in nature, and is part of the normal flora of the skin and less commonly the mucosa flora.

Clinical significance
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.

Gram positive cocci,

0.5-1.5 µm

that occur in irregular grape-like clusters and,

less often, single and in pairs, tetrads, and in short chains.

Facultative anaerobic

Colonies are small to medium, white gray, smooth, opaque, and sometimes they have a dark center.
They have no pigment and most colonies are nonhemolytic

They are relatively small

Some slime producing strains are extremely sticky and adherent.
