Ochrobactrum Anthropi (O. anthropi ), formerly known as Achromobacter CDC group Vd, is a gram-negative bacillus that is aerobic, oxidase producing, and nonlactose fermenting. This organism has been found in environmental and hospital water sources and has pathogenic potential in humans. Most reports in the literature of O. anthropi bacteremia are associated with intravenous line infections. We describe a case of bacteremia with O. anthropi in a 33-month-old boy with acute osteomyelitis. O. anthropi bacteremia also has been reported in immunocompromised hosts. Rarely, O. anthropi has been a cause of soft tissue or bone infection.
嗜水气单胞菌(O. anthropi),以前称为无色杆菌CDC Vd组,是一种革兰氏阴性杆菌,需氧,产氧化酶,不发酵乳糖。这种微生物已在环境和医院水源中发现,对人类具有致病潜力。文献中大多数关于嗜水气单胞菌菌血症的报道都与静脉导管感染有关。我们描述了一例33个月大患有急性骨髓炎的男孩发生嗜水气单胞菌菌血症的病例。嗜水气单胞菌菌血症在免疫功能低下的宿主中也有报道。嗜水气单胞菌很少引起软组织或骨感染。
