Phenotypically is similar to Staphylococcus warneri (distinction between this species is
based on a rRNA gene restriction method).
Positive results for catalase, beta-glucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, urease, acid
production (aerobic) from: beta-D-fructose, D-glucose, sucrose & trehalose.
Negative results for oxidase, coagulase, clumping factor, beta-galactosidase, fibrinolysin, DN-ase, ornithine decarboxylase, esculin
hydrolysis, alkaline phosphatase, acid production (aerobic) from: L-arabinose, D-cellobiose, D-mannose, alpha-D-melibiose, D-
raffinose, D-ribose, D-xylose & xylitol.
Variable results for acetoin production, nitrate reduction, acidproduction (aerobic) from maltose & mannitol.
