Kocuria sp. merupakan jenis bakteri Gram positif. Potensi Kocuria sp. pertama kali
diidentifikasi sebagai penyebab infeksi saluran kemih. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
mengetahui distribusi dari bakteri Kocuria sp. berdasarkan spesimen klinis, umur, jenis
kelamin, dan ruang rawat di RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin. Metode penelitian yang digunakan
secara deskriptif. Data diambil secara langsung dari spesimen klinis seperti isolasi,
identifikasi dan karakterisasi bakteri Kocuria sp. Data diambil dari hasil kultur bakteri
spesimen klinis pasien yang dirawat di RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin selama periode
November 2020 hingga November 2022. Identifikasi dan uji sensitifitas antibiotik
dilakukan menggunakan alat otomatis VITEK® 2 Compact. Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh
bahwa bakteri Kocuria sp. dari spesimen klinik di RSUDZA ditemukan sebanyak 99
isolat. Distribusi Kocuria sp. berdasarkan jenis spesimen paling banyak ditemukan pada
spesimen Darah sebanyak 34,34%. Distribusi bakteri Kocuria sp. berdasarkan usia paling
banyak ditemukan pada pasien usia ≥56 tahun yaitu 27 isolat (27,27%). Selanjutnya
distribusi bakteri Kocuria sp. berdasarkan jenis kelamin paling banyak ditemukan pada
pria yaitu 70 isolat (70,70%). Distribusi Kocuria sp. berdasarkan Ruang Rawat paling
banyak ditemukan pada Ruang Rawat Penyakit Dalam sebanyak 42,42%.

Kocuria sp. is a type of Gram positive bacteria. The potential of Kocuria sp. was first identified as a cause of urinary tract infection. This study aims to determine the distribution of Kocuria sp. based on clinical specimen, age, sex, and ward at RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin. The research method used is descriptive. Data were taken directly from clinical specimens including isolation, identification and characterization of Kocuria sp. Data were taken from the results of bacterial culture of clinical specimens from patients treated at RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin during the period November 2020 to November 2022. Antibiotic identifications and sensitivity tests were carried out using the VITEK® 2 compact automatic tool. The results of this study showed that 99 isolates of bacteria Kocuria sp. were found from clinical specimens at RSUDZA. Distribution of Kocuria sp. based on the type of specimen most commonly found in bloods specimens as much as 34,34%. Distribution of Kocuria sp. based on age, the most common were found in patiens aged >56 years, that are 27 isolates (27,27%). Furthermore, the distribution of Kocuria sp. based on gender was found mostly in men, namely 70 isolates (70,70%). Distribution of Kocuria sp. based on the ward were found mostly in the Internal Medicine Ward as much as 42,42%. Keywords: clinical specimen, distribution, Kocuria sp
