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 equorum is a coagulase-negative gram-positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, commonly associated with horses and their environment. It is also found in fermented foods and has been studied for its role in the ripening of artisanal cheeses. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
