Staphylococcus intermedius is a Gram-positive, catalase positive member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus consisting of clustered cocci. Strains of this species were originally isolated from the anterior nares of pigeons, dogs, cats, mink, and horses. Many of the isolated strains show coagulase activity. [2]
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium of the genus Staphylococcus [1] found worldwide. [2] It is primarily a pathogen for domestic animals, [ 3 ] [ 4 ] but has been known to affect humans as well. [ 5 ]
Staphylococcus is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria in the family Staphylococcaceae from the order Bacillales. Under the microscope, they appear spherical , and form in grape-like clusters. Staphylococcus species are facultative anaerobic organisms (capable of growth both aerobically and anaerobically).
Staphylococcus cornubiensis is a species of Gram-positive cocci in the Staphylococcus intermedius Group (SIG): [1] a group of genetically and phenotypically similar bacterial species that were previously identified as S. intermedius. [2] [3] The bacterium was first isolated from a human skin infection in Cornwall, United Kingdom. [1]
Species of Staphylococcus have no regular plane of division. They form grape-like structures. [9] The various gram-positive cocci differ physiologically and by habitat. Micrococcus spp. are obligate aerobes that inhabit human skin. Staphylococcus spp. also inhabit human skin, but they are facultative anaerobes. They ferment sugars, producing ...
Reagents used for Lancefield grouping. Lancefield grouping is a system of classification that classifies catalase-negative Gram-positive cocci based on the carbohydrate composition of bacterial antigens found on their cell walls. [1]
Staphylococcus scalded skin syndrome – Staphylococcus scalded skin syndrome is caused by toxins produced when a staph infection gets too severe. It is characterized by a fever, rash, and blisters. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) – MRSA is one of the most common antibiotic-resistant strains of staph bacteria. It is more ...
These lesions are often infected by pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus intermedius. [39] Horses that lick wounds may become infected by a stomach parasite, Habronema, a type of nematode worm. The rabies virus may be transmitted between animals, such as the kudu antelopes by wound licking of wounds with residual infectious saliva. [40]
