Staphylococcus epidermidis
''Staphylococcus epidermidis'' is a Gram-positive bacterium, and one of over 40 species belonging to the genus ''Staphylococcus''. It is part of the normal human flora, typically the skin flora, and less commonly the mucosal flora. Although ''S. epidermidis'' is not usually pathogenic, patients with compromised immune systems are at risk of developing infection. These infections are generally hospital-acquired. ''S. epidermidis'' is a particular concern for people with catheters or other surgical implants because it is known to form biofilms that grow on these devices. Being part of the normal skin flora, ''S. epidermidis'' is a frequent contaminant of specimens sent to the diagnostic laboratory.
==Discovery==
Friedrich Julius Rosenbach distinguished ''S. epidermidis'' from ''S. aureus'' in 1884, initially naming ''S. epidermidis'' as ''S. albus''. He chose ''aureus'' and ''albus'' since the bacteria formed yellow and white colonies, respectively.
