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 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.
