Staphylococcus intermedius is a Gram-positive, catalase positive member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus consisting of clustered cocci. Strains of this species were originally isolated from the anterior nares of pigeons, dogs, cats, mink, and horses. Many of the isolated strains show coagulase activity. Clinical tests for detection of methicillin-resistant S. aureus may produce false positives by detecting S. intermedius, as this species shares some phenotypic traits with methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains. It has been theorized that S. intermedius has previously been misidentified as S. aureus in human dog bite wound infections, which is why molecular technologies such as MALDI-TOF and PCR are preferred in modern veterinary clinical microbiology laboratories for their more accur

| - Staphylococcus intermedius ist ein rundliches, nicht sporenbildendes, grampositives Bakterium aus der Gattung der Staphylokokken. Es ist fakultativ anaerob und Koagulase-positiv. Nach der älteren Systematik wurde es als Biovar E und F der Hundevarietät von Staphylococcus aureus bezeichnet. S. intermedius ist der häufigste Eitererreger bei Hunden und Katzen, bei anderen Tieren oder dem Menschen spielt es keine Rolle. (de)

| - Staphylococcus intermedius ist ein rundliches, nicht sporenbildendes, grampositives Bakterium aus der Gattung der Staphylokokken. Es ist fakultativ anaerob und Koagulase-positiv. Nach der älteren Systematik wurde es als Biovar E und F der Hundevarietät von Staphylococcus aureus bezeichnet. S. intermedius ist der häufigste Eitererreger bei Hunden und Katzen, bei anderen Tieren oder dem Menschen spielt es keine Rolle. Staphylococcus intermedius kommt als Bestandteil der natürlichen Hautflora auf der Haut, insbesondere der Analregion, auch bei gesunden Tieren vor. Bei Störungen des natürlichen Gleichgewichts oder Verletzungen ruft er eitrige Entzündungen der Haut (Pyodermie), der Gebärmutter (Pyometra), des Ohrs (Otitis externa) oder von Wunden (Wundinfektion) hervor.

- Staphylococcus intermedius is a Gram-positive, catalase positive member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus consisting of clustered cocci. Strains of this species were originally isolated from the anterior nares of pigeons, dogs, cats, mink, and horses. Many of the isolated strains show coagulase activity. Clinical tests for detection of methicillin-resistant S. aureus may produce false positives by detecting S. intermedius, as this species shares some phenotypic traits with methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains. It has been theorized that S. intermedius has previously been misidentified as S. aureus in human dog bite wound infections, which is why molecular technologies such as MALDI-TOF and PCR are preferred in modern veterinary clinical microbiology laboratories for their more accurate identifications over biochemical tests. S. intermedius is largely phenotypically indiscriminate from Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus delphini, and therefore the three organisms are considered to be included in the more general 'Staphylococcus intermedius group'.
