  • Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis Due to Ochrobactrum Anthropi: Case Report
    Journal of clinical microbiology, 2004
    Co-Authors: M. P. Romero Gómez, A. M. Peinado Esteban, J. A. Sobrino Daza, J. A. Sáez Nieto, D. Alvarez, P. Peña García
    Abstract:

    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, 2016
    Co-Authors: Skerdi Haviari, P Cassier, Cedric Dananche, Monique Hulin, Olivier Dauwalder, Olivier Rouviere, Xavier Bertrand, Michel Perraud, Thomas Benet, Philippe Vanhems
    Abstract:

    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.
