    Abstract: A total of 106 samples including parsley, lettuce, cress, watercress, mint and dill were analyzed for <I>Staphylococcus aureus </I>and Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CNS). According to microbiological analyses, <I>Staphylococcus aureus </I>and the CNS were found in 8 (7.55%) and 48 (45.28%) samples, respectively. The CNS were identified  as <I> S.  epidermidis </I> 10 (9.43%), <I>S. arlettae </I>9 (8.49%), <I>S. xylosus </I>8 (7.55%), <I>S. sciuri </I>6 (5.66%), <I>S. simulans </I>4 (3.77%), <I>S. lentus </I>3 (2.83%), <I>S. equorum </I>3 (2.83%), <I>S. warneri </I>3 (2.83%), <I>S. saprophyticus</I> 1 (0.94%) and <I>S. haemolyticus </I>1 (0.94%).
