Two Cases of Peritonitis Caused by<i>Kocuria marina</i>in Patients Undergoing Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract

Kocuria spp. are members of the Micrococcaceae family that are frequently found in the environment and on human skin. Few human infections have been reported. We describe what appear to be the first two cases of Kocuria marina peritonitis in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
