Species code:	STAEQ
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Staphylococcus (TaxID: 176279) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Gram-positive nonmotile coccus that grows in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, in which it forms grape-like clusters. S.epidermidis is a common member of the normal florae of skin and mucous membranes. Its large numbers and ubiquitous distribution make it one of the most commonly isolated organisms in the clinical laboratory. It is now one of the most important agents of hospital acquired infections. Immunosuppressed or neutropenic patients are particularly at risk, as are individuals with indwelling catheters or prosthetic devices. S. epidermidis (strain ATCC 35984 / RP62A) is able to form biofilms.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Interaction: Animal commensal in Mammalia; Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of STAEQ entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2492 (746 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1746 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
