Staphylococcaceae
Staphylococcaceae, from Ancient Greek σταφυλή (''staphulḗ''), meaning "bunch of grapes", and κόκκος (''kókkos''), meaning "sphere", are a family of Gram-positive bacteria that includes the genus ''Staphylococcus'', noted for encompassing several medically significant pathogens. The five genera '' Jeotgalicoccus'', '' Macrococcus'', '' Nosocomiicoccus'', '' Salinicoccus'', and ''Staphylococcus'' have been shown to be monophyletic, while '' Gemella'' appears to be polyphyletic. The pathogen methicillin-resistant ''Staphylococcus aureus'' is a member of this family. The most famous species in this family is ''Staphylococcus aureus'', usually found in the skin microbiota. ''Staphylococcus aureus'' is the pathogenic bacteria with the highest global mortality in 2019, with approximatively 1.1 million deaths.

Salinicoccus
''Salinococcus'' is a genus of Gram-positive cocci belonging to the family (biology), family Staphylococcaceae. The genus name is derived from Latin ''salinus'' - saline, and Greek language, Greek ''kokkos'' - a grain or berry). The genus was described in 1990 by Ventosa ''et al''.Ventosa A, Marquez, MC, Ruiz-Berraquero F and Kocur, M (1990) ''Salinicoccus roseus'' gen. nov., sp. nov., a new moderately halophilic Gram-positive coccus. Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 13, 29-33 Description The genomic DNA G+C content of the species in this genus lies within the range of 46–51 mol%. Genome No species in this genus has had its genome sequenced to date. Clinical Species in this genus are not known to cause disease. Phylogeny The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
