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. Isolation and clinical significance of these bacteria from human specimens warrant great caution as it does not necessarily confirm infection due to their ubiquitous presence, and as a normal flora of skin and mucous membranes in human and animals. Most clinical microbiology laboratories ignore such bacteria as laboratory and specimen contaminants. With increasing reports of infections associated with these bacteria, it is now important for clinical microbiologists to identify and enumerate the virulence and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of such bacteria and assist clinicians in improving the patient care and management. We review the occurrence and clinical significance of  Kocuria  species .
