Staphylococcaceae
Staphylococcaceae, from Ancient Greek σταφυλή (''staphulḗ''), meaning "bunch of grapes", and κόκκος (''kókkos''), meaning "sphere", are a family of Gram-positive bacteria that includes the genus ''Staphylococcus'', noted for encompassing several medically significant pathogens. The five genera '' Jeotgalicoccus'', '' Macrococcus'', '' Nosocomiicoccus'', '' Salinicoccus'', and ''Staphylococcus'' have been shown to be monophyletic, while '' Gemella'' appears to be polyphyletic. The pathogen methicillin-resistant ''Staphylococcus aureus'' is a member of this family. The most famous species in this family is ''Staphylococcus aureus'', usually found in the skin microbiota. ''Staphylococcus aureus'' is the pathogenic bacteria with the highest global mortality in 2019, with approximatively 1.1 million deaths.

Salinicoccus
''Salinococcus'' is a genus of Gram-positive cocci belonging to the family (biology), family Staphylococcaceae. The genus name is derived from Latin ''salinus'' - saline, and Greek language, Greek ''kokkos'' - a grain or berry). The genus was described in 1990 by Ventosa ''et al''.Ventosa A, Marquez, MC, Ruiz-Berraquero F and Kocur, M (1990) ''Salinicoccus roseus'' gen. nov., sp. nov., a new moderately halophilic Gram-positive coccus. Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 13, 29-33 Description The genomic DNA G+C content of the species in this genus lies within the range of 46–51 mol%.

Nosocomiicoccus
''Nosocomiicoccus'' is a genus of gram-positive cocci.Alves M., Nogueira C., de M., Chung A.P., Morais P.V., da Costa (2008) ''Nosocomiicoccus ampullae'' gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from the surface of bottles of saline solution used in wound cleansing. Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol. 58(12):2939-2944 The genus is a member of the family Staphylococcaceae. A common feature of all members of this family is their osmo- and halotolerance - the ability to grow at high salt concentrations.

Macrococcus
''Macrococcus'', (from Ancient Greek μακρός (''makrós''), meaning "long", and (''kókkos''), meaning "kernel" or " Kermes") is a genus of Gram-positive cocci belonging to the family Staphylococcaceae. The genus was created in 1998.Kloos, W. E., D. N. Ballard, C. G. George, J. A. Webster, R. J. Hubner, W. Ludwig, K. H. Schleifer, F. Fiedler, and K. Schubert. 1998.

It was then renamed ''Staphylococcus caseolyticus'' by Schleifer ''et al'' in 1982. It received its current designation in 1998 by Kloos ''et al''.

Jeotgalicoccus
''Jeotgalicoccus'' is a genus of Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, and halotolerant to halophilic bacteria. The cells are coccoid. The genus is named after the Korean fish sauce jeotgal, whence these bacteria were first isolated.

Staphylococcus
''Staphylococcus'', from Ancient Greek σταφυλή (''staphulḗ''), meaning "bunch of grapes", and (''kókkos''), meaning "kernel" or " Kermes", is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria in the family Staphylococcaceae from the order Bacillales. Under the microscope, they appear spherical ( cocci), and form in grape-like clusters. ''Staphylococcus'' species are facultative anaerobic organisms (capable of growth both aerobically and anaerobically). The name was coined in 1880 by Scottish surgeon and bacteriologist Alexander Ogston (1844–1929), following the pattern established five years earlier with the naming of '' Streptococcus''. It combines the prefix "staphylo-" (from ), and suffixed by the (from ). Staphylococcus was one of the leading infections in hospitals and many strains of this bacterium have become antibiotic resistant. Despite strong attempts to get rid of them, staphylococcus bacteria stay present in hospitals, where they can infect people who are most at ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Methicillin-resistant ''Staphylococcus aureus'' (MRSA) is a group of gram-positive bacteria that are genetically distinct from other strains of ''Staphylococcus aureus''. MRSA is responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It caused more than 100,000 deaths worldwide attributable to antimicrobial resistance in 2019. MRSA is any strain of ''S. aureus'' that has developed (through mutation) or acquired (through horizontal gene transfer) a multiple drug resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. Beta-lactam (β-lactam) antibiotics are a broad-spectrum group that include some penams (penicillin derivatives such as methicillin and oxacillin) and cephems such as the cephalosporins. Strains unable to resist these antibiotics are classified as methicillin-susceptible ''S. aureus'', or MSSA. MRSA infection is common in hospitals, prisons, and nursing homes, where people with open wounds, invasive devices such as catheters, and weakened immune systems are at greate ...

List Of Prokaryotic Names With Standing In Nomenclature
List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is an online database that maintains information on the naming and taxonomy of prokaryotes, following the taxonomy requirements and rulings of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. The database was curated from 1997 to June 2013 by Jean P. Euzéby. From July 2013 to January 2020, LPSN was curated by Aidan C. Parte. In February 2020, a new version of LPSN was published as a service of the Leibniz Institute DSMZ, thereby also integrating the Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date service and since 2022 LPSN is interconnected with the Type (Strain) Genome Server (TYGS), DSMZ's high-throughput platform for accurate genome-based taxonomy.
