If Koch could drink Vibrio cholerae, I am sure your dogs may
drink Micrococcus.
The Genus Micrococcus has been amended:
Micrococcus agilis BAS -> Arthrobacter agilis
Micrococcus halobius BAS -> Nesterenkonia halobia
Micrococcus kristinae BAS -> Kocuria kristinae
Micrococcus luteus AL
Micrococcus lylae AL
Micrococcus nishinomiyaensis BAS -> Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis
Micrococcus roseus BAS -> Kocuria rosea
Micrococcus sedentarius BAS -> Kytococcus sedentarius
Micrococcus varians BAS -> Kocuria varians
You have better start with a query on the method used. If you put more
information on the net, you may have comments from more people.

This bacteria has been found to be present in our well water -- the lab
has stated that it is pathogenic and that we should have the system
flushed and sanitized. I have looked really hard for details on the
effects of this bacteria on us and our 4 dogs but have not found much.
It is a gram positive bacteria (high G + C strain). This doesn't mean
much to me -- does it mean something to someone out there?
