| Abstract | The Staphylococcus intermedius group is a collection of coagulase-positive staphylococci composed of 5 members, including Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, a zoonotic pathogen often associated with exposure to dogs, and Staphylococcus delphini, which has not previously been recovered from humans. Here, we describe the first human case of S. delphini infection. |
