Brucella anthropi is a bacterium. Before 2020 it was listed as Ochrobactrum anthropi. This change in nomenclature has been disputed. 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. One strain is able to break down Piracetam.
They are emerging as major opportunistic pathogens.
