The Amur Hedgehog (Erinaceus amurensis) is a species in the genus Erinaceus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

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.
