Kocuria varians is a gram-positive species of bacteria in the genus Kocuria.[4][5] It has been isolated from milk,[2][6] meat,[7] skin, soil,[8] and beach sand.[9] It is 0.9 to 1.5 micrometers in diameter, and occurs in clusters, which can be up to 4 millimeters in diameter[8] and are yellow.[9] It is known to cause ocular infections,[10] brain abscesses,[11][12] and endophthalmitis.[13]
