Staphylococcus cohnii subsp. cohnii Schleifer and Kloos 1975
Staphylococcus cohnii subsp. urealyticus Kloos and Wolfshohl 1991 (spelling ‘urealyticum’ corrected by Sneath in 1992)
conditions. Grow well in medium containing up to 10% NaCl, poor at 15% NaCl.
Grow on media:Trypticase Soy Agar ± 5% sheep blood, Chapman (selective medium
with 75 g/l NaCl & mannitol).
Subsp. cohnii: colonies are non-pigmented or yellowish, smooth, glistening,
opaque, with entire margins.
Subsp. urealyticus: colonies are raised to convex, smooth, glistening, translucent,
with entire margins and gray or grayish white concentric rings. Colony diameter 5.5–
8.0 mm on P agar. Human isolatesare non-pigmented; isolates from other primates
are pigmented and may have bands of alternating colors.
endocarditis, arthritis and septicemia. Involved in ‘Chronic Fatigue Syndrome’ in humans together with other staphylococci.
