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.
