Abstract

Kocuria varians is a strictly aerobic, Gram-positive, coccoid, catalase-positive bacterium colonizing skin, mucous membranes and oropharynx. It may cause infections in immunosuppressed patients as an opportunistic pathogen. We report the first case of K. varians bacteremia secondary to cellulitis in a patient with multiple myeloma.
