Abstract
Kocuria marina has recently emerged as a cause for catheter-related bloodstream infections in patients with underlying
health complications. One K. marina strain was recently isolated from the lung tissues of a wild urban rat
(Rattus rattus diardii) caught during rodent surveillance. Here, we present the draft genome of the first K. marina
animal isolate, K. marina TRE150902.
