Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria, illustration 插畫檔

Illustration of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria. Staphylococcus epidermidis is part of normal human skin flora (commensal). It can also be found in the mucous membranes and in animals. Although S. epidermidis is not usually pathogenic, patients with compromised immune systems are at risk of developing infection. These infections are generally hospital-acquired.
