Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a Gram-positive coccus belonging to the genus Staphylococcus. [1] S. saprophyticus is a common cause of community-acquired urinary tract infections . [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
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).

Uropathogenic E. coli from the gut is the cause of 80–85% of community-acquired urinary tract infections, [31] with Staphylococcus saprophyticus being the cause in 5–10%. [4] Rarely they may be due to viral or fungal infections. [32]

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 ...
The hemolysis of some weakly beta-hemolytic organisms is enhanced when streaked close to certain beta hemolytic strains of Staphylococcus aureus. This phenomenon is the mechanism behind the CAMP test, [2] a test that was historically used for the identification of Streptococcus agalactiae and Listeria monocytogenes. [3]
Since S. Saprophyticus has begun developing a resistance to antibiotics, and because urinary tract infections often recur after a course of antibiotics is taken, natural treatments for urinary tract infections caused by S. Saprophyticus also must be considered. Unsupported statement, biased towards unproven treatment.
