    Author: Romero Gómez MP, Peinado Esteban AM, Sobrino Daza JA, Sáez Nieto JA, Alvarez D, Peña García P.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2004 Jul; 42(7):3371-3. PubMed ID: 15243121.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of infective endocarditis in a prosthetic mitral valve due to Ochrobactrum anthropi. Although O. anthropi is an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients, infections with the bacterium have very rarely been documented in healthy hosts, and endocarditis is rare. To our knowledge, only two cases of O. anthropi endocarditis have been reported in the medical literature.
