Abstract
Staphylococcus lentus is a Gram-positive, oxidase-positive, coagulase-negative member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus consisting of clustered cocci. The species was originally classified as a subspecies; its name is a combination derived from Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. lentus. Of all studied S. sciuri subspecies, only S. lentus has been found to use the trisaccharide raffinose.
