giraffe

A girafa (Giraffa camelopardalis) é o animal terrestre mais alto da Terra, podendo atingir 5,5 metros de altura e pesar até 1.750 kg. Seu pescoço alongado, contendo as mesmas sete vértebras cervicais de todos os mamíferos, evoluiu para se alimentar de acácias nas savanas e bosques africanos. Animal social que vive em manadas soltas sem vínculos permanentes, comunica-se por infrassons e linguagem corporal. Vulnerável, com populações em declínio devido à perda de habitat e à caça ilegal.

Staphylococcus hominis e um coco Gram-positivo coagulase-negativo que constitui uma parte significativa do microbioma normal da pele humana. E comumente encontrado em areas com abundantes glandulas sudoriparas, incluindo as axilas, os pes e a virilha. Esta bacteria comensal decompoe lipideos cutaneos e ocasionalmente causa infeccoes oportunistas em pacientes vulneraveis.
