Ochrobactrum anthropi - An Unusual Cause of Line Related Sepsis. Current Knowledge of the Epidemiology and Clinical Features of This Pathogen
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 12
Abstract
Onchrobactrum anthropi is a rare gram negative pathogen that is not usually associated with human infection. When it does occur, it tends to cause severe sepsis related to central venous devices. The susceptibility patterns vary and removal of the device and treatment using a suitable antimicrobial usually results in a cure. We present such a case in an immunocompetent patient and review the available.
