What disease does staphylococcus albus cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Staphylococcus germ: Staphylococcus albus is what is called a "coagulase-negative Staphylococcus"... basically a lab test that distinguishes it from it's MUCH MORE DANGEROUS cousin, Staphylococcus aureus. Staph is the shortened name - as you might have heard for 'Staph infections'. Most likely this Staph albus was a bystander, but if you have specific questions - an ID doc could help, or the doc who ordered the test
