Title
Evaluation of Ochrobactrum intermedium bacteremia in a patient with bladder cancer
Abstract
It is generally believed that Ochrobactrum anthropi is the only pathogenic species in the genus Ochrobactrum. We report a case of presumptive Ochrobactrum intermedium bacteremia in a patient with bladder cancer. Identification of a rare species using rapid commercial panel could lead to an erroneous result as this clinical isolate was initially reported to be Shewanella putrefaciens. The patient was successfully treated with imipenem and ciprofloxacin. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
