Background   Micrococcus species  may cause intracranial abscesses, meningitis, pneumonia, and septic arthritis in immunosuppressed or immunocompetent hosts. In addition, strains identified as  Micrococcus spp . have been reported recently in infections associated with indwelling intravenous lines, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis fluids, ventricular shunts and prosthetic valves.    Case presentation  We report on the first case of a catheter-related bacteremia caused by  Kocuria rosea , a gram-positive microorganism belonging to the family  Micrococcaceae , in a 39-year-old man undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation due to relapsed Hodgkin disease. This uncommon pathogen may cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients.    Conclusions  This report presents a case of  Kocuria rosea  catheter related bacteremia after stem cell transplantation successfully treated with vancomycin and by catheter removal.
