Genus Staphylococcus
Gram positive, spherical cells, 0.5-1.5 μm in diameter, occuring singly,
in pairs or forming irregular clusters (dividing in more than one plane).
Metabolism respiratory and fermentative, many carbohydrates can be
utilized with acid production (lactic or acetic acid). Facultative
anaerobes, non-motile, catalase produced (most of them).

NOTE

Staphylococcus pulvereri
Zakrzewska- Czerwinska
et al. 1995 is a later
synonym of
Staphylococcus vitulinus
Genus Macrococcus
Gram positive, spherical cells, occuring
singly, in pairs or clusters. Generally, can
be differentiated from staphylococci by
oxidase positive and a larger diameter
(0.8-2.4 μm) .
