Discussion
All of the following statement regarding coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp (CONS) are true, Except?
Answer: C
Correct answer: S. saprophyticus is normal flora of humans skin surface
S. saprophyticus belongs to the genitourinary flora rather than being a general skin commensal; it is S. epidermidis that colonises skin everywhere. The distinction matters clinically, because S. saprophyticus in a urine culture from a young woman is a genuine pathogen while S. epidermidis in a blood culture is more often a contaminant.
