Staphylococcus arlettae is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus forming grape-like clusters. It has been isolated from skin surfaces of domestic animals including poultry and goats. This commensal bacterium inhabits the skin and mucosal surfaces of mammals and birds, rarely causing disease but occasionally found in clinical specimens.
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.
