From here :

AFLP was used to analyze the genetic diversity among Ochrobactrum strains. AFLP patterns showed a great genomic variability that separated the samples into three distinct clusters.

Ochrobactrum intermedium was found to be closely related to Brucella abortus S99.

Ochrobactrum spp. are potential human pathogens. Ochrobactrum anthropi bacteremia is usually associated with contaminated intravenous lines in immunocompromised human patients, water sources, and environmental conditions in hospitals (1, 5, 8, 10, 11). O. anthropi isolates have also recently been obtained from other sources such as water, concrete, soils, termites, feces, activated sludges, oil spills, etc. Many of these isolates present interesting degradative properties not only towards multiple antibiotics but also towards herbicides, hemicellulose, anthracene, and other complex organic molecules including crude oil (2-5, 8, 12, 15, 17, 19, 25), displaying an opportunism that allows them to succeed in a wide range of environments.
