Staphylococcus saccharolyticus is a Gram-positive, coagulase-negative coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, found on human and animal skin and mucous membranes. It is an anaerobic or microaerophilic species capable of fermenting sugars, a trait less common in the genus Staphylococcus. As a commensal organism, it contributes to the normal microbiota of mammalian hosts.
