Staphylococcus auricularis
Species of bacterium From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Staphylococcus auricularis is a Gram-positive member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus consisting of pairs or tetrads of cocci. This species was originally isolated from the exterior of a human ear and is weakly hemolytic.[1] Because it commonly exists on human skin, it may be able to cause opportunistic infections or sepsis,[2] although this is very rare.
