Staphylococcus warneri is a species of Gram-positive bacteria with spherical cells appearing in clusters and a member of the genus Staphylococcus. It is catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, and coagulase-negative, and is a common commensal organism found as part of the skin microbiota on humans and animals. Like other coagulase-negative staphylococci, S. warneri rarely causes disease, but may occasionally cause infection in patients whose immune system is compromised.[1]
Identification
Clinical importance
Staphylococcus warneri has been suggested as a cause of spontaneous abortion in cattle and humans.[2] It has been associated with vertebral discitis,[3] urinary tract infection,[4] meningitis,[5] orthopedic infections/osteomyelitis,[6][7] ventricular shunt infections,[8] and infective endocarditis (more associated with prosthetic rather than native valves).[9][7] Similar to other coagulase-negative staphylococci, the presence of S. warneri in blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures can also represent contamination rather than a true infection.[7]
It has been suggested as the cause of a case of meningoencephalitis in a dog.[10]
