Ochrobactrum anthropi

Ochrobactrum anthropi is a bacterium.[1] The type strain is strain CIP 82.115 (= CIP 14970 = NCTC 12168 = LMG 3331). O. anthropi strains are rod-shaped, aerobic, gram-negative, non-pigmented and motile by means of peritrichous flagella.[2][3][4] They are emerging as major opportunistic pathogens.[5]
