TheStaphylococcus intermedius group (SIG) is a collection of coagulase-positive staphylococci consisting of four distinct species, namely,Staphylococcus cornubiensis ,Staphylococcus delphini ,Staphylococcus intermedius , andStaphylococcus pseudintermedius . SIG members are animal pathogens and rare causes of human infection. Accurate identification ofS. pseudintermedius has important implications for interpretation of antimicrobial susceptibility testing data and may be important for other members of the group.
