Staphylococcus delphini sp. nov., a Coagulase-Positive Species Isolated from Dolphins VARALDO, PIETRO E. and KILPPER-BÄLZ, RENATE and BIAVASCO, FRANCESCA and SATTA, GIUSEPPE and SCHLEIFER, KARL HEINZ,, 38, 436-439 (1988), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-38-4-436, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A new coagulase-positive species of the genus Staphylococcus, Staphylococcus delphini, is described on the basis of a study of two strains isolated from purulent skin lesions of dolphins. The new species is established and differentiated from the other coagulase-positive Staphylococcus species primarily on the basis of its deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization relationships, its cell wall composition, its bacteriolytic activity pattern, its penicillin-binding protein profile, its biochemical reactions, and the relatively high guanine-plus-cytosine content of its deoxyribonucleic acid. The type strain is strain Heidy (= DSM 20771)., language=, type=
