Staphylococcus caprae is a coagulase-negative gram-positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, originally isolated from goats (Capra hircus). It is part of the commensal microbiota of goats and has occasionally been isolated from human clinical samples. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus that is the most abundant commensal bacterium on human skin. It colonizes the entire body surface and mucous membranes of humans and other mammals globally. While normally harmless, it is a leading cause of biofilm-associated infections on implanted medical devices.
