Ochrobactrum anthropi is an emerging opportunist pathogen in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of septicaemia due to O. anthropi in an elderly male patient with coronary artery disease with severe left ventricular dysfunction admitted in the Intensive coronary care unit. Following intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) insertion, the patient developed a haematoma at the local site, which led to septicaemia. In spite of intensive treatment, the condition of the patient continued to deteriorate and he died on the seventh day. This infection with the microbiological characteristics useful for identification of the organism is described.
嗜水气单胞菌是免疫功能低下患者中一种新出现的机会致病菌。我们报告了一例在重症冠心病监护病房收治的患有冠状动脉疾病且左心室功能严重不全的老年男性患者，因嗜水气单胞菌导致败血症的病例。在插入主动脉内球囊反搏（IABP）后，患者在局部部位出现血肿，进而导致败血症。尽管进行了强化治疗，但患者病情仍持续恶化，于第七天死亡。本文描述了这种具有有助于鉴定该病原体的微生物学特征的感染情况。
