Of 281 strains of staphylococci isolated from man and animals 36 (12.8%) were coagulase-positive and 245 (87.2%) were coagulase-negative. Staphylococcus aureus and Staph. intermedius were the commonest coagulase-positive staphylococci isolated from the hosts examined. Of the 20 strains that remained unclassifiable, 14 were isolated from sheep and goats.
