Abstract

The Staphylococcus intermedius group is a collection of coagulase-positive staphylococci composed of 5 members, including Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, a zoonotic pathogen often associated with exposure to dogs, and Staphylococcus delphini, which has not previously been recovered from humans. Here, we describe the first human case of S. delphini infection.

Keywords: Human; Infection; Staphylococcus delphini; Staphylococcus intermedius group.
