The intra- and intergeneric relationships of the genus Staphylococcus, and the phylogenetic position of Peptococcus saccharolyticus and Micrococcus (Staphylococcus salivarius), were investigated by comparative oligonucleotide cataloguing of 16S rRNA. All the staphylococci investigated form a phylogenetically coherent group at the genus level that, in addition, contains the anaerobic species Peptococcus saccharolyticus. The genus Staphylococcus belongs to the broad Bacillus-Lactobacillus-Streptococcus cluster that is defined by Gram-positive bacteria with a low DNA G+C content. Micrococcus mucilaginosus is not a genuine member of the genus Micrococcus. The binary matching coefficients between the 16S rRNA of Micrococcus mucilaginosus and those representatives of the Arthrobacter/Micrococcus group and related genera indicate that Micrococcus mucilaginosus should be regarded as a member of a new genus.
通过对16S rRNA进行比较寡核苷酸编目，研究了葡萄球菌属内和属间的关系，以及解糖消化球菌和微球菌（唾液葡萄球菌）的系统发育位置。所有被研究的葡萄球菌在属水平上形成了一个系统发育连贯的群体，此外，该群体还包含厌氧物种解糖消化球菌。葡萄球菌属属于由低DNA G+C含量的革兰氏阳性菌定义的广泛的芽孢杆菌-乳酸杆菌-链球菌簇。黏液微球菌不是微球菌属的真正成员。黏液微球菌的16S rRNA与节杆菌/微球菌组及相关属的代表之间的二元匹配系数表明，黏液微球菌应被视为一个新属的成员。
