“…It was previously reported that K. rosea can cause catheter-related bacteremia and peritonitis; however, no genotypic identification methods were employed to confirm this, thus the etiology is uncertain. 16 , 31 , 32 Only an abstract was available as the reference in two of three cases because the original publication was not in English; thus, precise information could not be obtained. Slightly more information was available for the third case: the bacteremic patient was human immunodeficiency virus positive and was successfully treated with vancomycin and catheter removal.…”

“…Slightly more information was available for the third case: the bacteremic patient was human immunodeficiency virus positive and was successfully treated with vancomycin and catheter removal. 32 Such scanty information forced us to rely on a single existing report. 16 However, the present study conclusively confirms K. rosea as an opportunistic pathogen that is able to cause peritonitis and BSI.…”

“…The first indication of such a scenario becoming true has been observed through the numerous new cases of Kocuria infections being reported in a short span of time. 20 , 22 , 23 , 32 Owing to misidentification over the years, the diseases caused by Kocuria species are erroneously believed to be rare. Hence, it is suggested that physicians should not underestimate the importance of Kocuria spp.…”

Although not previously known to cause human infections, Kocuria species have now emerged as human pathogens, mostly in compromised hosts with severe underlying disease. Recently, there has been an increasing incidence of different types of Kocuria infections reported, most likely due to the adoption of better identification methods. Here, we report a case of peritonitis caused by Kocuria rosea in a diabetic nephropathy patient who was on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Sepsis and peritonitis caused by K. rosea in our case yielded two identical Kocuria isolates from the peritoneal dialysate fluid within a period of three days. The infection was subsequently resolved by antibiotic treatment and catheter removal. In addition to reporting this case, we herein review the literature concerning the emergence of Kocuria as a significant human pathogen. The majority of cases were device-related, acquired in the hospital or endogenous, and different Kocuria species appear to share a common etiology of peritonitis. The overall disease burden associated with Kocuria appears to be high, and the treatment guidelines for diseases associated with Kocuria have not yet been clearly defined.

“…It is an uncommon pathogen and under certain circumstances causes diseases in immunocompromised patients, so it is considered opportunistic [85]. In the literature, there are only a few medical reports associated with vascular catheters, bacteremia, cholecystitis, and peritonitis in chronically debilitated patients [86]. In the case of B. cereus , it is an uncommon but potentially serious pathogen, associated with very low-frequency infections, it produces diseases in an isolated manner and it is mainly recognized as a pathogen with a high mortality rate in neonates [87], capable of causing hemorrhagic meningoencephalitis, respiratory infections, bloodstream infections and affecting the central nervous system of preterm infants [88,89].…”

Despite their significant impact on public health, antibiotic resistance and size distributions of airborne viable bacteria in indoor environments in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) remain understudied. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the antibiotic resistance of airborne viable bacteria for different sizes (0.65–7 µm) in private-style and public-style neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Airborne bacteria concentrations were assessed by a six-stage Andersen impactor, operating at 28.3 L/min. Public-style NICU revealed higher concentrations of airborne viable bacteria (53.00 to 214.37 CFU/m3) than private-style NICU (151.94–466.43), indicating a possible threat to health. In the public-style NICU, Staphylococcus was the highest bacterial genera identified in the present study, were Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Staphylococcus epidermidis predominated, especially in the second bronchi and alveoli size ranges. Alloiococcus otitidis, Bacillus subtiles, Bacillus thuringiensis, Kocuria rosea, and Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligene, were identified in the alveoli size range. In NICU#2, eight species were identified in the alveoli size range: Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus thuringiensis, Eikenella corrodens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus gordoni. Multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs) were found in both of the NICUs. Bacillus cereus strains were resistant to Ampicillin, Cefoxitin, Ceftaroline, and Penicillin G. Staphylococcus cohnii ssp. cohnii was resistant in parallel to ampicillin and G penicillin. Staphylococcus saprophyticus strains were resistant to Ampicillin, Penicillin G, Oxaxilin, and Erythromycin. Results may indicate a potential threat to human health due to the airborne bacteria concentration and their antibiotic resistance ability. The results may provide evidence for the need of interventions to reduce indoor airborne particle concentrations and their transfer to premature infants with underdeveloped immune systems, even though protocols for visitors and cleaning are well-established.

“…A few reports of human infections, as shown in Table 1, were ascribed to Kocuria species comprising of a case of dacryocystitis due to Kocuria ocularis [3], a case of acute cholecystitis caused by Kocuria kristinae [4], a case of meningitis due to Kocuria rosea [5], a case of brain abscess due to Kocuria varians [6], four cases of infective endocarditis due to K. rosea [7,8], K. kristinae [9,10], seven cases of peritonitis attributing to three Kocuria marina [11,12] and to two K. rosea [13,14], and one case of K. varians [15] and two cases of K. kristinae [16,17], and 21 cases of blood-stream infections attributing to two Kocuria rhizophila [18,19], one K. varians [20], two K. rosea [21,22], to fourteen K. kristinae [9,23e27], to one K. marina [28], and to one Kocuria salsicia [29], respectively. Among the 21 cases of bacteremia (Table 1), the majority cases were catheterrelated blood stream infections.…”
