Staphylococcus pulvereri sp. nov., isolated from human and animal specimens.
A new coagulase-negative species of the genus Staphylococcus, Staphylococcus pulvereri, was isolated from human and animal specimens. The complete 16S rRNA sequence of the type strain of S. pulvereri, NT215, was determined and compared with the sequences of 16S rRNAs from the other staphylococci. Strains of S. pulvereri were differentiated from other novobiocin-resistant Staphylococcus species by their biochemical activities, cell wall composition, and levels of genetic relatedness. The type strain of this species is NT215 (= PCM 2443T).
