Fig 1. Members of the S. intermedius group and host associations.
Host associations based upon data presented in [5,6,67,70]. The animal sources of the type strains (Staphylococcus cornubiensis NW1T, Staphylococcus delphini DSM 20771T, Staphylococcus intermedius DSM 20373T, Staphylococcus pseudintermedius DSM 21284T, and Staphylococcus ursi MI 10-1553T) are indicated, and host associations of the different species are listed underneath. The human isolates likely reflect transmission from animal sources. In the case of S. cornubiensis, the type strain was recovered from a human [67]; however, a related isolate (2008-01-1056-2) was recovered from a dog [71], suggestive of an animal link. All members, with the notable exception of S. ursi, are coagulase positive.
