Species of Staphylococcus isolated from animal infections. 1984

H U Cox, and S S Newman, and A F Roy, and J D Hoskins

One hundred randomly selected clinical strains of staphylococci were identified by species using a commercial micromethod system. Eight species of staphylococci were identified. Staphylococcus intermedius was the most frequent (n = 74) species identified and accounted for 70/74 (94.6%) of the coagulase-positive strains and 70/79 (88.6%) of the total isolates from dogs. Other species identified, in order of their frequency, included S. epidermidis (8), S. aureus (7), S. simulans (4), S. sciuri (2), S. xylosus (2), S. hyicus (2) and S. saprophyticus (1). These results show that at least 8 different species of staphylococci can be recovered from animal infections and that coagulase-positive species such as S. intermedius may be more common than S. aureus. The relative significance of these other species in animal infections needs to be assessed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
