Kocuria kristinae, formerly known as Micrococcus kristinae is a gram positive bacteria first isolated from the rhizoplane of the Typha angustifolia[1] The normal habitat for this Kocuria species is skin, and has also been found in the urinary tract of patients with urinary tract infections.[2] Its type strain is ATCC 27566. It is associated with acute cholecystitis.[3] It grows in tetrads, irregular clusters, and cubical packets of eight. It is strictly aerobic.[4]
