Staphylococcus lentus is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus primarily found on the skin of domestic animals including sheep, goats, and pigs. It inhabits the skin and mucosal surfaces of various mammalian hosts. This slow-growing commensal bacterium rarely causes disease but is occasionally isolated from animal skin infections.

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.
