Abstract

A new species, , was isolated from the human external ear (external auditory meatus) and is described here. This species can be distinguished from other staphylococci primarily on the basis of growth rate and colony morphology on agar, carbohydrate reaction pattern, cell wall composition, and deoxyribonucleic acid sequence relationships. The type strain of this species is ATCC 33753.
