Abstract
Kocuria rosea is a Gram-positive coccus found in the environment and within normal human skin microbiota, and more recently, it has been potentially implicated as an opportunistic pathogen. Here, we describe the genome sequences of five strains of K. rosea (NCTC2676, NCTC7514, NCTC7512, NCTC7528, and NCTC7511).
Highlights
Kocuria rosea is a Gram-positive coccus found in the environment and within normal human skin microbiota, and more recently, it has been potentially implicated as an opportunistic pathogen
All of them are listed in a study conducted in the National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC) in the late 1940s, the aim of which was to provide a ubiquitously useful system of classification for aerobic catalase-positive Gram-positive cocci by examining 431 strains for morphological characteristics, biochemical characteristics, and sensitivity to two bacteriophages [7]
It is known that NCTC7512, NCTC7514, and NCTC7528 were once a part of the Kral Collection, one of the world’s first microbial culture collections which operated from 1890 until 1911
