Entry term(s) Staphylococcus capitis subsp. urealyticus
Staphylococcus capitis subsp. ureolyticus
Scope note: Especie COAGULASA-negativa de STAPHYLOCOCCUS que se encuentra en la piel y las MEMBRANAS MUCOSAS de animales de sangre caliente. Similar al STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS y al STAPHYLOCOCCUS HAEMOLYTICUS, se trata de un patógeno nosocomial que se encuentra en las unidades neonatales de cuidados intensivos. Las subespecies incluyen la subespecie capitis, generalmente sensible a los antibióticos y que no produce BIOPELÍCULAS, y la subespecie urealyticus, resistente a los antibióticos y con capacidad para producir biopelículas.

Scope note: A COAGULASE-negative species of STAPHYLOCOCCUS found on the skin and MUCOUS MEMBRANE of warm-blooded animals. Similar to STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS and STAPHYLOCOCCUS HAEMOLYTICUS, it is a nosocomial pathogen in NICU settings. Subspecies include generally antibiotic susceptible and BIOFILM negative capitis and antibiotic resistant and biofilm positive urealyticus isolates.
