Mycolicibacterium agri (formerly Mycobacterium agri[2]) is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota that was first isolated from soil.[4] It is non-pigmented and grows rapidly at 25–45 °C on Ogawa egg medium.[1] It has also been isolated from a human skin infection,[5] and raw milk[6] M. agri is capable of degrading octocrylene.[7]
