Staphylococcus argenteus

Staphylococcus argenteus[1] are gram-positive cocci from the genus Staphylococcus which have been isolated from blood culture of a 55-year-old Indigenous Australian female in 2006 in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.[2][3][1] The species is close related to S. aureus and the differentiation is challenging.[4] Staphylococcus argenteus is cytotoxic to human cells due to high expression of alpha-hemolysin.[5]
