Staphylococcus carnosus is a bacterium from the genus Staphylococcus that is both Gram-positive and coagulase-negative.[1] It was originally identified in dry sausage and is an important starter culture for meat fermentation.[1][2] Unlike other members of its genus, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. carnosus is nonpathogenic and safely used in the food industry.[3]
