Staphylococcus epidermidis is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus that is the most abundant commensal bacterium on human skin. It colonizes the entire body surface and mucous membranes of humans and other mammals globally. While normally harmless, it is a leading cause of biofilm-associated infections on implanted medical devices.

Staphylococcus kloosii is a coagulase-negative member of the genus Staphylococcus, known for its association with the skin of warm-blooded animals. It forms clusters of gram-positive cocci and is considered a minor commensal organism. Its conservation status is not evaluated under standard biodiversity metrics.
