Kocuria spp. is a member of the Micrococci family, grouped in clusters and catalase positive, coagulase negative and they produce creamy or orange colonies on blood agar. It is part of the skin and oropharynx microbiote. Few cases of infections related to this family have been described, most often related to immunocompromised patients and/or patients with central venous catheters. In 2015, a total of 12 cases of peritonitis attributable to Kocuria spp in PD patients were found. In this report we present nine cases of infections (peritonitis or exit-site infection) by Kocuria spp., in patients on PD, their treatments and outcomes
