Ochromobactrum intermedium: an emerging opportunistic pathogen-case of recurrent bacteraemia associated with infective endocarditis in a haemodialysis patient

We describe the first clinical case report of infective endocarditis related to Ochrobactrum intermedium infection. The case involved a 23-year-old man receiving dialysis via an internal jugular long-term haemodialysis catheter. He improved with a prolonged course of meropenem and minocycline. Ochrobactrum spp. are recognized as rare emerging opportunistic pathogens.
