Define staphylococcus epidemidis??

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a type of bacteria that is commonly found on the skin and mucous membranes of humans. It is a member of the Staphylococcus genus and is considered a commensal organism, meaning it typically does not cause harm or illness in healthy individuals. However, it can occasionally cause infections, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems or those with medical devices such as catheters or prosthetic implants. Staphylococcus epidermidis is known for its ability to form biofilms, which are communities of bacteria that adhere to surfaces and can be difficult to treat with antibiotics.
