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.

Onchrobactrum anthropi bacteremia line sepsis diagnosis treatment.
