Staphylococcus warneri urogenital infections

Isolated from the human vagina and urinary tract
Cause of urinary tract infections¹
Related to hospital stays and catheterisation²
Commensal of mammal skin³
Grows best at between 30-40 °C
Possible cause of miscarriages in cows and humans
Associated with vertebral discitis, urinary tract infection, meningitis, bone infections, ventricular shunt infections and infective endocarditis
Often considered a contaminant in other samples, but it’s difficult to know if this is accurate
