Bearded seal

The Bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus) is a species in the genus Erignathus. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Staphylococcus simiae is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, originally isolated from South American squirrel monkeys. It is an opportunistic commensal inhabiting the skin and mucosal surfaces of its primate host. Its discovery extended our knowledge of Staphylococcus diversity across non-human primate species.
