Staphylococcal infections, commonly called staph infections, are caused by a genus of bacteria called Staphylococcus. There are more than 30 strains (types) of Staphylococcus bacteria.
Staphylococci are a large group of bacteria in every environment; however, these bacteria can proliferate only in humans or animals. Many staphylococcal species colonize the skin and mucosal membranes, especially the perineum and pharynx.
Bacteria in the genus Staphylococcus are pathogens of man and other mammals. Traditionally they were divided into two groups on the basis of their ability to clot blood plasma (the coagulase reaction). The coagulase-positive staphylococci constitute the most pathogenic species S aureus.
