It is bacteria on the surface of something, usually our skin, eyes, nails, etc. Staphylococcus epidermidis is one example, and propionibacterium acnes is another. They are both found on our skin, normally, but are opportunistic bacteria in that given a chance, they will multiply and become infectious. Staph is one of the leading causes of hospital borne infections. P. acne is one of the leading causes of acne breakouts.
