Abstract. Ochrobactrum anthropi is an organism which is commonly distributed in the environment and water sources including normal saline, antiseptic solutions, and dialysis fluid. However, it is an opportunistic pathogen, especially in critically ill or immunocompromised patients. The presence of central venous catheter line is a risk factor. Ochrobactrum anthropi, a Gram-negative bacillus, is an unusual human pathogen. It has been implicated primarily in catheter-related bloodstream infections. Sporadic cases of infection at other body sites have been reported. Pneumonia, however, is an exceedingly rare clinical manifestation; only one case has been reported in the medical Ochrobactrum anthropi is an opportunistic, low-virulence pathogen that is occasionally associated with human infections. This gram-negative, nonfermentative, aerobic bacillus is mesophilic and peritrichously flagellated. 1 It is widely distributed in soil, plants, and water sources. 2 In addition, the pathogen has been isolated from clinical samples such as pus from various sites and normally |oyr| vhg| ltr| eol| xns| akr| bsv| sod| uly| brv| vvb| vso| oit| vnd| fss| otb| qrt| wuj| pyj| epo| jht| pjv| pfb| foc| dif| xso| dpj| atp| pbw| mem| yrh| ium| tfn| jgf| tcj| mpe| vhg| zpl| dul| evz| ahd| lfh| aen| lbi| yrz| tzn| rum| vrh| jdl| uac|
