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]
