Green Sea Turtle
La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.

Forma parte del microbioma normal de la piel de humanos y primates. Esta bacteria comensal se alimenta de lipidos cutaneos y ocasionalmente causa infecciones oportunistas en neonatos y pacientes inmunocomprometidos.
