They are Gram-positive, catalase-positive and occur singly and in irregular grapelike clusters, a description from which is the origin of their name. Staphylococci are broadly divided into a group that produce coagulase (S. aureus) and those that do not (96). Historically, S. aureus has been the major species producing serious human infection and a host of classic and new syndromes. The more benign coagulase-negative staphylococci have surfaced more recently as a cause of human infections (210[1]). Host factors that predispose to coagulase-negative staphylococci infections include immunosuppression and the presence of a medical device. Under any of these circumstances there appears to be no one species that predisposes to such infections (103[2]), however, there are some species of coagulase-negative staphylococci ...
