Pelvic Abscess Due to <i>Ochrobactrum anthropi</i> in an Immunocompetent Host: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Ochrobactrum anthropi infection is rare in humans and is generally associated with immunocompromised hosts with indwelling foreign bodies. We report a case of pelvic abscess with O. anthropi after a routine appendectomy in an immunocompetent patient and review the literature on O. anthropi infection in patients with normal immune function.
