Description

Özet

Ochrobactrum anthropi, daha önce "Achromobacter group Vd" olarak bilinen gram negatif, laktozu fermente etmeyen, zorunlu aerobik, indol negatif, oksidaz pozitif, üreaz pozitif, hareketli bir basildir. Son yıllarda hem immün sistemi baskılanmış hem de immün sistemi sağlam kişilerde özellikle santral venöz kateterlere bağlı nozokomiyal enfeksiyon etkeni olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu olgu raporunda, kronik böbrek yetmezliği nedeniyle haftada iki gün diyalize giren ve ateşinin yükselmesi üzerine alınan kan kültürü örneklerinde O. anthropi üreyen 56 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur. Sonuç olarak, böbrek yetmezliği nedeniyle diyalize giren hastalarda kateter ilişkili O. anthropi gibi olağan dışı mikroorganizmaların etken olarak karşımıza çıkabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.

Abstract

Ochrobactrum anthropi, previously known as "Achromobacter group Vd", is a gram-negative, non-lactose-fermenting, obligate aerobic, indole-negative, oxidase-positive, urease-positive, motile bacillus. In recent years, it has emerged as a nosocomial infection agent especially in central venous catheters in both immunosuppressed and immunocompromised individuals. In this case report, a 56-year-old female patient who underwent dialysis for two days a week due to chronic kidney failure and had O. anthropi isolated in blood culture samples taken after fever increased is presented. In conclusion, it should be kept in mind that unusual microorganisms such as catheter-related O. anthropi may appear as causative agents in patients undergoing dialysis due to renal failure.
