Mammaliicoccus (Staphylococcus) sciuri has been rarely associated with infections and sepsis in humans. A 3-month-old male western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla), born under human care, died after a traumatic event. Histologic, microbiologic, and molecular findings in postmortem demonstrated a suppurative meningoencephalitis and bacteremia associated with M. sciuri infection.
松鼠葡萄球菌（葡萄球菌属）在人类中的感染和败血症较为少见。一只 3 月龄雄性西部低地大猩猩（大猩猩 gorilla gorilla），在人类的照顾下出生，在经历了一次创伤性事件后死亡。尸检的组织学、微生物学和分子学结果表明，存在化脓性脑膜脑炎和松鼠葡萄球菌感染相关的菌血症。
