Mycobacterium caprae is a species of bacteria in the genus Mycobacterium and a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The species is named after the caprines, the organisms from which M. caprae was first isolated.[2] Prior to 2003, the species was referred to as Mycobacterium tuberculosis subsp. caprae.[1] It is also synonymous with the name Mycobacterium bovis subsp. caprae.[citation needed]

M. caprae is a causative agent of tuberculosis in humans.[3][4] The species has also been isolated from tuberculous lesions in cattle, pigs, deer, and wild boars,[5] as well as from camels and bison.[6]
