“…S. caprae , first isolated from goat milk, colonizes the skin and mammary glands of goats. This bacterium is also found in healthy human skin and can become pathogenic in humans ( Seng et al, 2014 ; Mazur et al, 2017 ). The human-isolated S. caprae (strain JMUB145) displayed hemolytic activity on human RBCs ( Figure 7A ), indicating that this bacterium possesses pathogenicity to the skin of older people, although direct evidence was not obtained through the mouse models.…”

Staphylococcus spp. colonize commensally on the human skin. Some commensal coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus are also involved in nosocomial infections. Bacteria were collected from skin healed from pressure injury (PI). After the collection time points, some patients suffered from recurrent PI (RPI). This study analyzed the characteristics of Staphylococcus spp. on healed skin before recurrence between healed skin that suffered from RPI within 6 weeks (RPI group) and healed skin that did not suffer within the duration (non-RPI group) by Staphylococcus spp.-specific sequencing. Of the seven patients in the RPI group, two were dominated by S. aureus and four by Staphylococcus caprae, coagulase-negative human commensal staphylococci in the RPI group. Using mouse models, both S. caprae and S. aureus, but not Staphylococcus epidermidis, colonized on skin healed from injury at significantly higher rates than normal skin. Although subcutaneous injection of S. caprae did not induce lesion formation, the bacterium exhibited high hemolytic activity on human red blood cells. Lesion formation by subcutaneous injection of S. aureus was significantly suppressed in the presence of S. caprae. The hemolytic activity of rabbit blood cells of S. aureus was suppressed by S. caprae, whereas the hemolytic activity of S. caprae was dramatically suppressed by S. aureus. Data indicated that each of the two Staphylococcus spp. suppresses the pathogenicity of the other and that the imbalance between the two is associated with RPI.

“…caprae is a catalase-positive CoNS species. This organism was initially isolated from goat milk in 1983 and is known to colonize the skin and mammary glands of goats [2-3]. Later, researchers isolated S. caprae in human specimens and considered it a colonizer of healthy human skin, nails, and nasal mucosa [2].…”

Staphylococcus caprae (S. caprae) is a catalase-positive, coagulase-negative organism that was first isolated from goat milk, and was later found to colonize healthy human skin, nails, and nasal mucosa. Rarely, this commensal organism can become pathogenic in humans. S. caprae has been implicated in a variety of human infections, with the highest incidence being in bone and joint infections. We describe a man who, after receiving facet joint injections for back pain, developed native vertebral discitis, vertebral osteomyelitis with phlegmon, and bilateral psoas abscesses, from which S. caprae was isolated.
