		Micrococci in fresh blood smears were still present (25-30%) and a blood culture proved positive for Staphilococcus sp.
		The hallmark of this group was the notable presence of micrococci in the blood, in association with pain/fatigue symptoms, high CK acitivity and, in 9/16 cases, low serum magnesium.
		Micrococci were present in the blood and blood-culture proved positive for Staphilococcus spp.

	Emerging Infectious Diseases: Prosthetic valve endocarditis due to Kytococcus schroeteri - Letters - Letter to the ...
		To the Editor: Bacteria belonging to the former genus Micrococcus, the so-called micrococci, are usually regarded as contaminants from skin and mucous membranes.
		The traditional identification of the micrococci is based on their susceptibility to lysozyme and bacitracin and their resistance to lysostaphin and nitrofurantoin, in contrast to staphylococci, which display the opposite pat tern.
		Since early reports of endocarditis caused by gram-positive cocci that appear in tetrads and packets often did not reliably differentiate between micrococci and phenotypically similar microorganisms, such as coagulase-negative staphylococci, the frequency of micrococcal endocarditis is difficult to ascertain and might be underestimated.

		Schizomycetes such as Clostridium, Plcctridium, andc., where the sporiferous cells enlarge, bear out the same argument, and we must not forget that there are extremely minute yeasts, easily mistaken for Micrococci, and that yeasts occasionally form only one spore in the cell.

		Staphylococci are currently included together with micrococci and planococci in the family Micrococcaceae as a matter of convenience, since these genera are not closely related phylogenetically and should not be combined in one family.
		Among others, staphylococci and micrococci may be differentiated on the basis of anaerobic acid production from glucose, which is positive for most Staphylococcus species and negative for most Micrococcus species.
		Even in cases of young fry suffering from staphylococcus or micrococcus septicaemia, mortality is rather low and the condition improves soon after the administration of the proper therapy.

		Micrococci and species of Flavobacterium were the most resistant, micrococci in particular comprising a much greater proportion of the organisms in the frozen product as compared with the freshly packed material (79).
		In a special study of the micrococci to note the presence of food-poisoning (enterotoxin-producing) forms, of 50 strains of staphylococci isolated from frozen vegetables, 12 were found capable of elaborating enterotoxic substances in appropriate media and four in elaborating them in frozen-pack corn held at room temperature (35).
		The whole series of studies showed that frozen vegetables and fruits may be kept safely with reasonable care in handling to prevent development of spoilage organisms.

	BACTERIOLOGY - Online Information article about BACTERIOLOGY
		" microbes." " micro-organisms," " microphytes," " bacilli," " micrococci." All these terms, including the usual one of bacteria, are unsatisfactory; for " bacterium," " bacillus " and " micrococcus " have narrow technical meanings, and the other terms are too vague to be scientific.
		They were then known under the name of " animalculae," and were confounded with all kinds of other small organisms.
		Resemblances also exist between the endospores and the spore-formations in the Saccharomycetes, and if Bacillus inflatus, B. ventriculus, &c., really form more than one spore in the cell, these analogies are strengthened.

	Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in 15 dogs and cats with specific biochemical and microbiological anomalies
		A disease in dogs and cats characterized by clinically evaluated chronic fatigue, constant presence of micrococci in the blood and 60% Staph-positive blood cultures, found complete remission after intravenous treatment with low dosage sodium thiacetarsamide (Caparsolate, 0.1 ml/Kg/day for 2 days), a trivalent organic arsenical, used as single drug.
		Taken togheter, these results apparently exclude a risk of contamination of the Columbia’s plates during procedure and seems to confirm the bacterial nature of the micrococci-like organisms observed in the blood of the reported cases (Fig 1, 3).
		In comparison with ‘healthy’ and ‘sick with other illness’ control groups the CFS-affected animals showed a significant prevalence (60%) of Staph-positive blood cultures and presence of micrococci in the blood before therapy, with constant and stable disappearance after treatment and clinical recovery.

		Isolates of novobiocin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci, micrococci, and corynebacteria were associated to low values of log SCC (4.85 to 5.20).
		In contrast, infection by novobiocin-sensitive coagulase-negative staphylococci, streptococci, and enterococci organisms was related to a sharp inflammatory response with log SCC means between 5.92 and 6.32.

	Horse Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - June 2000
		The condition was more serious in horse #1, that also had pyoderma and generalized acne, spreading from the knees to the distal end of the legs, and a unilateral chronic kerato-conjunctivitis.
		Recent research [35] seems to confirm such ‘obsolete’ indications, since myopathy with atrophy of both types of muscular fibers and mitochondrial abnormalities have been observed in goats artificially raised in conditions of dietetic arsenic deficiency.
		A working hypothesis for research is that a similar mechanism of action could be involved even in the therapeutic results apparently obtainable in CFS-like illnesses of animals associated with the presence of micrococci in the blood.

		Deviations in the microbial count with reference to the time of day were usually related to technical conditions.
		Smoking breaks and unscheduled downtime caused by defects in the slaughtering equipment primarily affected the pre-skinned carcasses negatively by their rolling in among contaminated hides, resulting in an increased total viable and micrococci burden.
		However, the share of oxydase-positive Gram-negative microbes tended to decline.The use of dip-slides for determining the total viable count on the surface of ovine carcasses proved to be suited only for semiquantitative determinations.

		Providing raw materials are of acceptable microbiological quality, during fermentation the combined effect of curing salts, curing aids and temperature encourages the gradual replacement of the contaminating flora including pathogens (such as salmonella, campylobacter and staphylococci) by lactobacilli, pediococci and micrococci.
		Where nitrate salts are used for curing in slow cured sausages, micrococci present convert nitrate salts to nitrite salts.
		Lactobacilli with or without micrococci are components of starter cultures available for use in slow fermentation (25°C) whereas pediococci with or without micrococci are used in starter cultures for rapid fermentation at higher temperatures (25°C to 37°C).

	Foot Odor
		Foot odor occurs when various bacteria, primarily corynebacteria and micrococci, break down organic substances found on the skin and clothing, resulting in undesired smells from the feet.
		The feet and arm pits are the places where odors most commonly occur because they provide warm, moist breeding grounds for odor-causing bacteria.
		Excessive odor occurs when “bad” bacteria, such as corynebacteria and micrococci, are present in a higher concentration than normal.

	Odour
		To "cure" odour, is necessary to understand where these odours come from and then eliminate the SOURCE of the odours.
		Odour is a byproduct of the metabolic process of BACTERIA (mainly corynebacteria and micrococci) which break down organic substance found on your skin; in your sweat; on things that made by textile or fabric, such as curtain, sofa, mattress, comforter, pillow, clothing, etc., on wooden furniture and fitting; on household waste or organic waste.
		Both of these bacteria are present on the surfaces of everyone's body at all times.
