Abstract
<i>Staphylococcus schleiferi</i> is a Gram-positive coccus bacterium first discovered in 1988 that is typically associated with skin and ear infections in dogs, cats and birds. It is infrequently described as a human pathogen. There are, however, emerging reports of <i>S. schleiferi</i> infections in diverse clinical scenarios in humans, particularly in patients with weakened immune systems. <i>S. schleiferi</i> may be underrecognised due to limitations in routine microbiology diagnostic protocols and mislabelling as other <i>Staphylococcus</i> sp. We present a rare case of <i>S. schleiferi</i> diabetic foot osteomyelitis with subsequent bacteraemia in an immunocompromised host.
