Septic Shock Caused by Ochrobactrum Anthropi in an Otherwise Healthy Host
Journal of clinical microbiology, 2003Co-Authors: Adrien Kettaneh, François-xavier Weill, Isabelle Poilane, Olivier Fain, Michel Thomas, Jean-louis Herrmann, Laurent HocquelouxAbstract:Reported is a case of life-threatening septic shock that occurred in an otherwise healthy host after administration of a peripheral venous infusion of a solution contaminated with Ochrobactrum Anthropi, an unusual human pathogen. The rapid onset of shock may have been due to a large inoculum caused by nonsterile practices at the time of reconstitution.

Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis Due to Ochrobactrum Anthropi: Case Report
Journal of clinical microbiology, 2004Co-Authors: M. P. Romero Gómez, A. M. Peinado Esteban, J. A. Sobrino Daza, J. A. Sáez Nieto, D. Alvarez, P. Peña GarcíaAbstract:We describe a case of infective endocarditis in a prosthetic mitral valve due to Ochrobactrum Anthropi. Although O. Anthropi is an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients, infections with the bacterium have very rarely been documented in healthy hosts, and endocarditis is rare. To our knowledge, only two cases of O. Anthropi endocarditis have been reported in the medical literature.

outbreak of achromobacter xylosoxidans and Ochrobactrum Anthropi infections after prostate biopsies france 2014
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016Co-Authors: Skerdi Haviari, P Cassier, Cedric Dananche, Monique Hulin, Olivier Dauwalder, Olivier Rouviere, Xavier Bertrand, Michel Perraud, Thomas Benet, Philippe VanhemsAbstract:We report an outbreak of healthcare-associated prostatitis involving rare environmental pathogens in immunocompetent patients undergoing transrectal prostate biopsies at Hopital Edouard Herriot (Lyon, France) during August 13-October 10, 2014. Despite a fluoroquinolone-based prophylaxis, 5 patients were infected with Achromobacter xylosoxidans and 3 with Ochrobactrum Anthropi, which has not been reported as pathogenic in nonimmunocompromised persons. All patients recovered fully. Analysis of the outbreak included case investigation, case-control study, biopsy procedure review, microbiologic testing of environmental and clinical samples, and retrospective review of hospital records for 4 years before the outbreak. The cases resulted from asepsis errors during preparation of materials for the biopsies. A low-level outbreak involving environmental bacteria was likely present for years, masked by antimicrobial drug prophylaxis and a low number of cases. Healthcare personnel should promptly report unusual pathogens in immunocompetent patients to infection control units, and guidelines should explicitly mention asepsis during materials preparation.

Infective endocarditis and septic embolization with Ochrobactrum Anthropi: case report and review of literature.
The Journal of infection, 2000Co-Authors: M Saeed Mahmood, A.r Sarwari, Mohammad Ashraf Khan, Z Sophie, Erum Khan, S SamiAbstract:Ochrobactrum Anthropi, previously known as CDC group Vd, is an aerobic, Gram-negative bacillus of low virulence that occasionally causes human infection. We describe a case of infective endocarditis with O. Anthropi complicated by septic embolization. A review of all the literature reported cases of O. Anthropi infection is presented and categorized into 'Central line related', 'Transplant related' and "Other pyogenic infections". Mortality appears to be related to the underlying disease state, rather than the organism.
