Staphylococcus warneri, Staph, xylosus, Staph. saprophyticus, Staph. epidermidis, Staph. sciuri subsp. lentus, Staph. sciuri subsp. sciuri and Staph. cohnii subsp. urealyticum were the most frequently occurring staphylococci in the rumen content and wall of young and wild ruminants. Staphylococcus warneri formed a high percentage mainly among 2–9‐week‐old ruminants. Staphylococcus hominis was found only in mouflons. Staphylococcus gallinarum was detected only in calves. Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant representative of coagulase‐positive staphylococci in the rumen of wild ruminants. Most of the strains examined could not be identified as known species.
