Taxonomy
Family: Micrococcaceae

Natural habitats
Micrococci are widespread in nature and are commonly found on the skin of humans and other mammals.

Clinical significance
K. rosea found in environmental sources and human skin.
It is considered part of the normal skin flora, but it can be an opportunistic pathogen.
In clinical settings, it has been associated with infections such as bacteremia, endocarditis, and skin and soft tissue infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying medical conditions.
It is generally sensitive to many antibiotics, though antibiotic resistance can occur.
