As a result of the study of a number of additional characteristics, more than a half of the cultures, formerly identified as phosphatase-negative S. epidermidis according to the scheme of the International Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Staphylococci and Micrococci, have been shown to be more similar to S. Hominis and S. captis on account of their properties. The study of correlation between the main differentiating characteristics of S. epidermidis has shown that it is poorly pronounced. For this reason the decision to classify a phosphatase-negative culture with S. epidermidis should be based on the study of additional characteristics which differentiate this species not only from S. saprophyticus, but also from other phosphatase-negative staphylococci.
通过对许多其他特征的研究发现，根据葡萄球菌和微球菌分类国际小组委员会的方案，以前被鉴定为磷酸酶阴性表皮葡萄球菌的培养物中，超过一半因其特性而显示出与人类葡萄球菌和溶血葡萄球菌更为相似。对表皮葡萄球菌主要鉴别特征之间相关性的研究表明，这种相关性并不明显。因此，将磷酸酶阴性培养物归类为表皮葡萄球菌的决定应基于对其他特征的研究，这些特征不仅能将该菌种与腐生葡萄球菌区分开来，还能与其他磷酸酶阴性葡萄球菌区分开来。
