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 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.
