Kocuria arsenatis is a Gram-positive actinobacterium in the family Micrococcaceae, isolated from arsenic-rich environments. Its tolerance to arsenate compounds makes it of interest for understanding microbial survival in heavy-metal-contaminated habitats.

Kocuria carniphila is a Gram-positive coccus isolated from meat (as suggested by its species name, carniphila meaning meat-loving), belonging to the family Micrococcaceae. It is an aerobic, non-motile bacterium found in food environments and potentially on animal skin and associated surfaces. Some Kocuria species have been identified as opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised individuals.
