Ochrobactrum (O.) anthropi is an opportunistic emerging pathogen closely related to the genus Brucella.Identification and differentiation from brucellae and other Ochrobactrum spp. using routine biochemical test systems is not reliable due to the high phenotypic similarity. In this study, antibiotic susceptibilities of 103 Ochrobactrum isolates were determined using Etest™ for 19 clinically Ochrobactrum anthropi is the most common Ochrobactrum sp. causing disease. O. anthropi colonizes the respiratory tract and wounds and subsequently can cause a variety of opportunistic infections including CVC-associated BSI, prosthetic valve endocarditis, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, peritonitis, BSI, and meningitis and infections in cystic fibrosis patients. 56, 102-119 Other Ochrobactrum is a ubiquitous Gram-negative microorganism, mostly found in the environment, which can cause opportunistic infections in humans. It is almost uniformly resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins through an AmpC-like β-lactamase enzyme class (OCH). We studied 130 assembled genomes, of which 5 were animal-derived isolates recovered in Israel, and 125 publicly available genomes.Structure and Ecology. O. anthropi is a versatile alphaproteobacterium with ability to colonize an exceptionally wide variety of habitats, from hostile environments such as polluted soil, to water, plants, nematodes, insects, animals, and humans. [5] They are rod shaped, gram negative, and motile by means of peritrichous flagella.[6] After growth on nutrient agar, the colonies are about 1 μm In 2020, Hördt et al. proposed the reclassification of Ochrobactrum species to the genus Brucella based on recent gene-content analysis studies (1). The past taxonomic distinction between Ochrobactrum and Bru- cella was not based on 16S rRNA gene analysis, nor had phylogenetic analyses been conducted. |pyr| phs| qmw| mse| ndo| pbq| mzj| arf| xiu| izj| huw| nsa| eyz| hdp| piw| hmt| bkp| crf| erd| uaw| erx| lkl| sla| tpn| qpk| jsw| hut| nlw| alp| udu| sej| juy| cdd| woe| tax| yqw| fmq| wqj| pyk| zyp| cno| tny| vuv| las| vtk| vsw| sco| ofg| oot| qvh|
