Ochrobactrum anthropi caused a fatal septicaemia in an elderly patient with heart disease following an intraaortic balloon pump procedure. This case highlights the opportunistic pathogen

Area of Science:

  • Medical Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Clinical Case Reports

Background:

  • Ochrobactrum anthropi is an emerging opportunistic pathogen.
  • Immunocompromised patients are particularly susceptible to O. anthropi infections.

Observation:

  • A case of septicaemia caused by O. anthropi in an elderly male patient with coronary artery disease and severe left ventricular dysfunction is presented.
  • The patient was admitted to the Intensive Coronary Care Unit.
  • A haematoma at the intraaortic balloon pump insertion site preceded the development of septicaemia.

Findings:

  • The patient's condition deteriorated despite intensive treatment.
  • The patient died on the seventh day of illness.
  • Microbiological characteristics aiding in the identification of O. anthropi are described.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential pathogenicity of O. anthropi in vulnerable patient populations.
  • Understanding the clinical presentation and microbiological features of O. anthropi is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
  • The findings emphasize the importance of vigilance for rare pathogens in critically ill patients, especially those with invasive devices.
