Staphylococcus haemolyticus is a coagulase-negative, Gram-positive coccus known for its broad antibiotic resistance and occasional opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. It is a common commensal on human skin and mucous membranes worldwide. This bacterium can cause prosthetic device infections and bacteremia in hospital settings.
Staphylococcus hominis is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus that forms a significant part of the normal human skin microbiome. It is commonly found in areas with abundant sweat glands including the axillae, feet, and groin. This commensal bacterium decomposes skin lipids and occasionally causes opportunistic infections in vulnerable patients.
