Ochrobactrum anthropi,a rare human pathogen, has been isolated predominantly from patients with catheter-related bacteraemia and rarely from other infections. In 2016, six cases of pseudo-bacteraemia caused by carbapenem-resistantO. anthropiisolates were recovered from an Argentinian hospital. The resistant phenotype exposed by the isolates caught our attention and led to an extensive epidemiologic investigation. Here we describe the characterization of a carbapenem-resistantO. anthropioutbreak whose probable cause was by contaminated collection tubes. The genome analysis of one strain revealed the presence of various resistant determinants. Among them, a metal-dependent hydrolase of the β-lactamase superfamily I,phnP,was found. Lately the recovery of unusual multidrug-resistant pathogens in the clinical setting has increased, thus emphasizing the need to implement standardized infection control practice and epidemiologic investigation to identify the real cause of hospital outbreaks.
