Emerging Bacterial Infection: Identification and Clinical Significance of Kocuria Species.
Cureus
August 2016
Department of Microbiology, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences.
Recently there have been reports of gram-positive cocci which are morphologically similar to both Staphylococci and the Micrococci. These bacteria have been identified as Kocuria species with the help of automated identification system and other molecular methods including 16S rRNA (ribosomal ribonucleic acid) evaluation. Kocuria belongs to the family Micrococcaceae which also includes Staphylococcus species and Micrococcus species.

Department of Human Microbiology, Institute of Cellular and Intracellular Symbiosis, Russian Academy of Sciences, Volgogradskaya Street 36/3, Orenburg, Russia.
Aim: To report the detection in vitro of secretory inhibitor of platelet microbicidal protein (SIPMP) phenotypes of urethral isolates along with a comparison with isolates from patients with or without chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP).
Methods: Urethral isolates of Staphylococcus spp. (n=4), diphtheroids (n=28), micrococci (n=15), streptococci (n=21), Enterobacteriaceae (n=9) and Enterococcus faecalis (n=19) from patients with or without CBP were tested.
Chlorhexidine-containing cream is often used as an antimicrobial barrier to ascending urinary tract infection in patients with indwelling urethral catheters. The cream is dispensed in small tubes for personal use but repeated use of a tube still entails a potential infection hazard. The extent of cream contamination was analysed by emulsifying it in 1% peptone broth with 1% Tween-80 added as a wetting agent, and culturing quantitatively for bacteria and fungi by membrane filtration.

J Clin Pathol
March 1979
In the eight-month period of study of all urine samples processed in our routine laboratory, only 85 out of 12 152 specimens yielded a bacteriologically significant growth of either Staphylococcus epidermidis or micrococci. Their growth on MacConkey medium was strictly comparable to that on cysteine lactose electrolyte-deficient (CLED) media. Most micrococci isolated were from urine samples of non hospitalised women patients, were resistant to a novobiocin (5 micrograms) disc, and belonged to Baird Parker type 3.
