Background
- Genus of Gram-negative bacilli
- Indole-negative, catalase-positive
- Includes Ochrobactrum anthropi (most common cause of infection in humans) as well as numerous other species
- Somewhat related to Brucella
Management
- Often harbour a chromosomal class C ESBL, giving resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins
- Empirically should treat with carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, co-trimoxazole, or aminoglycosides
Further Reading
- The Genus Ochrobactrum as Major Opportunistic Pathogens. Microorganisms. 2020 Nov 16;8(11):1797. doi: 10.3390/microorganisms8111797. PMID: 33207839; PMCID: PMC7696743.
