Ochrobactrum anthropi Holmes et al. 1988

Brucella anthropi is a bacterium.[3] Before 2020 it was listed as Ochrobactrum anthropi.[4] This change in nomenclature has been disputed.[5] The type strain is strain CIP 82.115 (= CIP 14970 = NCTC 12168 = LMG 3331). B. anthropi strains are rod-shaped, aerobic, gram-negative, non-pigmented and motile by means of peritrichous flagella.[6][7][8] One strain is able to break down Piracetam.[9][10]

They are emerging as major opportunistic pathogens.[11]
