Staphylococcus gallinarum is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, first isolated from poultry. It is part of the diverse Staphylococcus genus, which inhabits skin and mucous membranes of vertebrates, and is generally considered a commensal species. Its name derives from the Latin word for chicken, reflecting its original host association.

Staphylococcus simiae is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, originally isolated from South American squirrel monkeys. It is an opportunistic commensal inhabiting the skin and mucosal surfaces of its primate host. Its discovery extended our knowledge of Staphylococcus diversity across non-human primate species.
