Brucella suis bacteremia misidentified as Ochrobactrum anthropi by the VITEK 2 system.

Journal of infection in developing countries - 28 Apr 2016

Vila Andrea, Pagella Hugo, Vera Bello Gonzalo, Vicente Alicia

Abstract excerpt

Ochrobactrum and Brucella are genetically related genera of the family Brucellaceae, sharing 98.8% rRNA similarity. Because of their phenotypic similarity, Ochrobactrum can be miscoded as Brucella by automated identification systems. The misidentification on blood cultures (BCs) of B. suis as O. anthropi by the VITEK 2 system is herein described. A 67-year-old male with a prosthetic mitral valve and fever was...
