A member asked:
I sniffed a bacteria called kocuria rhizophila during a lab. will i be ok and is this bacteria harmful?

Should be fine.: It is very unlikely that you would be able to get it infection from this bacterium. It is very common in soil and it is commonly used in food preparation. The only actual infections that I could find were in people who had deficient immune systems. If you develop any symptoms, see your doctor. Good luck.
