\begin{abstract}
\emph{Staphylococcus pettenkoferi} is a coagulase negative
staphylococcus (CoNS) whose clinical relevance is not fully understood.
Hitherto, there are several reports describing the participation of this
species in human infections; in most cases \emph{S. pettenkoferi} was
isolated from blood cultures. The purpose of this work is to summarize
knowledge about \emph{S. pettenkoferi} especially in terms of
biochemical properties, types of infections caused, factors predisposing
to bacteremia and susceptibility to antibiotics. Particular attention
was paid to the difficulties in identifying this CoNS bacterium and
limitations of microbiological tests. The principles of microbiological
bloodstream infection diagnostics and criteria for interpreting test
results are summarized, as well. The analysis of published reports and
opinions resulted in better characterization of infections in which
\emph{S. pettenkoferi} is the etiological agent. From a clinical point
of view, presented knowledge allows to assess the risk of bloodstream
infection or sample contamination, help physician to implement the
appropriate procedures and making decisions concerning inter alia
empirical treatment.%
