Organisms in the genus Kocuria are Gram-positive, coagulase-negative, coccoid
actinobacteria belonging to the family Micrococcaceae, suborder Micrococcineae, order …

Kocuria species are catalase-positive and coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccoid
bacteria that belong to the family Micrococcaceae, order Actinomycetales, and class …

This chapter discusses mainly those Gram‐positive cocci that were members of the former
family Micrococcaceae prior to its redefinition. The genera have now been rearranged in …

Microbiota is implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The spectrum of intratumoral
microbiota associated with HCC progression remains elusive. Fluorescence in situ …

Mounting evidence suggests that changes in microbiome are linked to development of
cancer and its aggressiveness. Microbiome profiles in human breast tissue previously …

The second book in a four-part series, this text is an in-depth review of state-of-the-art
molecular detection and identification methods for human bacterial pathogens. Written by …

Although not previously known to cause human infections, Kocuria species have now
emerged as human pathogens, mostly in compromised hosts with severe underlying …

Background Kocuria, previously classified into the genus of Micrococcus, is commonly found
on human skin. Two species, K. rosea and K. kristinae, are etiologically associated with …

We describe five patients with positive blood culture for Kocuria species. Three patients had
catheter-related bacteraemia and one had infective endocarditis caused by Kocuria …

Abstract Background Kocuria, established by Stackebrandt et al., previously was classified
into Micrococcus. Only two species, K. rosea and K. kristinae are reported to be associated …
