What is Staphylococcus pasteuri?

Staphylococcus pasteuri is a species of bacteria from the Staphylococcus genus, a group that includes both harmless skin microbes and some well-known pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus. S. pasteuri is considered a coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS)—generally less aggressive than its more pathogenic relatives.

Originally isolated from dairy products and human skin, Staphylococcus pasteuri is not a dominant member of the human gut microbiome. Its presence in stool or gut microbiome tests, such as the Vibrant Wellness Gut Zoomer, may signal environmental contamination, translocation, or microbial imbalance (dysbiosis), especially if found in elevated amounts.


What Does Staphylococcus pasteuri Do?

Under normal circumstances, S. pasteuri behaves as a commensal or environmental organism with minimal clinical relevance. However, emerging research suggests that in the right conditions—particularly in people with compromised immunity or imbalanced microbiomes—it can:

  • Survive in harsh environments, including inside white blood cells (macrophages)

  • Potentially contribute to chronic inflammation or biofilm formation

  • Be isolated in rare hospital-acquired infections, such as bloodstream or device-related infections

Its detection in the gut may not mean it’s actively causing harm—but it could reflect a shifting microbial landscape that favors the persistence of opportunistic organisms.

Final Thoughts

While not a common or dominant gut microbe, elevated Staphylococcus pasteuri may signal a shift in microbial balance, especially after antibiotics, illness, or environmental exposure. It serves as a reminder that the gut ecosystem is dynamic—and that even minor players can offer insight into your overall health.

Monitoring and restoring gut balance through diet, probiotics, and personalized care can help reduce opportunistic species and support long-term wellness.

What does it mean if your Staphylococcus pasteuri result is too high?

What Does It Mean if Staphylococcus pasteuri is Elevated?

Elevated levels of S. pasteuri in the gut are uncommon and can point to:

  • Dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance—especially when beneficial bacteria (e.g., Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus) are low

  • Post-antibiotic microbiome disruption, where environmental or skin organisms opportunistically colonize the gut

  • Contamination, especially in cases where S. pasteuri appears in very low abundance but alongside other skin microbes

  • Immune modulation issues, such as low-grade inflammation or impaired gut immune surveillance

While S. pasteuri itself is not considered highly pathogenic in most people, its presence may suggest a need to strengthen gut integrity, reduce inflammation, and support beneficial bacterial populations.


Symptoms Potentially Associated with Elevated S. pasteuri

There are no symptoms specific to Staphylococcus pasteuri, but its presence may accompany symptoms related to broader microbial imbalance, including:

  • Gas, bloating, or abdominal discomfort

  • Irregular bowel movements

  • Fatigue or "brain fog" linked to gut-brain axis disruption

  • Skin irritation or eczema (especially if skin flora is influencing gut flora)

  • Poor recovery after antibiotics or infection


How to Address Elevated Staphylococcus pasteuri

If your Gut Zoomer shows elevated S. pasteuri, here’s how to support a healthier microbial balance:

  1. Rebuild beneficial microbes: Use a high-quality probiotic and consume prebiotic-rich foods (fiber, resistant starch).

  2. Support gut barrier health: L-glutamine, zinc, and polyphenols (from berries, green tea) may help restore gut lining integrity.

  3. Reduce sugar and processed foods, which can fuel dysbiotic microbes.

  4. Address any coexisting gut imbalances: Look at the full microbiome report for overgrowths (e.g., Candida, Clostridium) or deficiencies.

  5. Work with a practitioner: Particularly if symptoms persist or S. pasteuri is found alongside other opportunists.

What Healthmatters Members Are Saying

5 stars rating

I have been using Healthmatters.io since 2021. I travel all over the world and use different doctors and health facilities. This site has allowed me to consolidate all my various test results over 14 years in one place. And every doctor that I show this to has been impressed. Because with  any health professional I talk to, I can pull up historical results in seconds. It is invaluable. Even going back to the same doctor, they usually do not have the historical results from their facility in a graph format. That has been very helpful.
