Species[2]

Kocuria is a genus of gram-positive bacteria in the phylum Actinobacteria, class Actinobacteria, order Actinomycetales, sub order Micrococcinae and family Micrococcaceae. Kocuria was discovered by Miroslav Kosur, a Slovakian microbiologist. It has been found in the milk of water deer and reindeer.[3] Kocuria is a genus of coccus shaped bacteria that have morphology resembling Staphylococci and Micrococci; however, with the use of the automated identification system and methods such as 16s rRNA sequencing, Kocuria was identified in 1974. It can be found arranged in pairs, chains, tetrads, cubical arrangements of eight, and irregular clusters. They have rigid cell walls and are either aerobic or facultative anaerobic.[4]

Clinical significance

Kocuria has been found to live on human skin and oral cavity.[5] It is generally considered non-pathogenic but can be found in some infections. Specific infection associated with Kocuria are urinary tract infections, cholecystitis[6], catheter-associated bacteremia[7], dacryocystitis[8], canaliculitis, keratitis[9], native valve endocarditis[10], peritonitis[11], descending necrotizing mediastinitis[12], brain abscess[13] and meningitis. Kocuria rosea is known to cause infection in immunocompromised patients, causing oropharyngeal and deep cervical infections. However, as having low pathagenicity and being very susceptible to antibiotics, with immediate surgical drainage, debridement, and administration of broad range antibiotics showed great results.[14]

Microbiology

Kocuria can be grown on sheep blood agar and other simple media plates. They grow best in neutral pH environments.[4] Depending on the species, they appear in a range of color such as: orange, pink, red, yellow or cream. They are shown to lack hemolytic ability on a blood agar plate. However, they have shown to react differently to normal laboratory identification techniques. These test include: catalase, urease, oxidase, amylase, gelatins, phosphatase, beta-galactosidase activities, and carbon source and citrate utilization[15]. Kocuria is susceptibility towards bacitracin and lysozyme and resistance to nitrofurantoin, furazolidone and lysostaphin.[4][15]

Environment

In a study done by Louisiana State University, 75 strains of bacteria from the Atacama Desert were tested for its ability to grow in Mars-like climates. The environment tested contained high concentrations of perchlorate salts, a similar condition found on Mars surface. In this environment, Kocuria was found to grow in one of the highest concentrations compared to the other strains.[16]
