Abstract:
Strain 82T, a Gram-stain-positive, coagulase-negative staphylococcus was isolated from an air sample obtained from an industrial rabbit holding in Italy. It is phylogenetically closely related to the coagulase-negative species Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus xylosus and Staphylococcus edaphicus. However, it could be distinguished from these species by sequence differences between the 16S rRNA, hsp60, rpoB, dnaJ and gap genes. At the whole genome level, the isolate had an average nucleotide identity of <95 % and an inferred DNA-DNA hybridization of <70 % when compared to these species. Based on the genotypic results, it is proposed that this isolate is a novel species, with the name Staphylococcus caeli sp. nov. The type strain is 82BT (=NCTC 14063T=CCUG 71912T).

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
Sampling Plans
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...
