ABSTRACT

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are a significant risk factor for poor patient outcomes. It is important to correctly diagnose and treat these infections to ensure the best chance of recovery. Kocuria rosea is a novel bacteria that is native to the human flora and has been on the rise as a culprit in recent nosocomial infections. However, due to its characteristics, it is often misclassified by commonly used hospital tests. We present a case of a 55-year-old female with sickle cell disease who developed a K. rosea infection during her hospital course and was effectively diagnosed and treated. This case report aims to bring awareness to this unusual bacteria as a possible cause of inpatient infection and CLABSI. Further research should be conducted to determine the incidence of this bacteria and the best testing to be done for its proper recognition.
