Discovery
S. cornubiensis was first described in a 2018 paper that discussed improved methods of detecting SIG species. The sample of the bacterium was collected in Cornwall, United Kingdom from a 64-year-old man with cellulitis. Designated strain NW1, S. cornubiensis was distinguished from other samples (all identified as S. pseudointermedius) due to differences in the sodA and hsp60 sequences. A following study–involving the same researchers and others–later identified NW1 as a novel species within SIG.
