Staphylococcus succinus is a Gram-positive coccoid bacterium belonging to the genus Staphylococcus.
History
This species was first described in 1998 and was isolated from 25- to 35-million-year-old Dominican amber.Lambert LH, Cox T, Mitchell K, Rosselló-Mora RA, Del Cueto C, Dodge DE, Orkand P, Cano RJ (1998)Staphylococcus succinus sp. nov. isolated from Dominican amber. Int. J. Sys. Bact. 48(2):511–518
Taxonomy
Two subspecies are recognised:{{cn|date=February 2023}}
- Staphylococcus succinus subsp. casei
- Staphylococcus succinus subsp. succinus
Epidemiology

Clinical
Staphylococcus succinus subsp. succinus PK-1 is a crucial pathogen to study the evolution of immune response, this pathogen was isolated by Karan Singh during his PhD at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali. Other species has been isolated from human clinical material, but its role in pathogenesis has yet to be clarified.Nováková D, Sedlácek I, Pantůcek R, Stetina V, Svec P, Petrás P(2006) Staphylococcus equorum and Staphylococcus succinus isolated from human clinical specimens. J. Med. Microbiol. 55, 523-528
