AUTHOR'S CORRECTION

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

Volume 44, no. 3, p. 1184-1186, 2006. The organism with which the article was concerned was incorrectly identified as Ochrobactrum anthropi; it was actually Ochrobactrum intermedium. We based our identification on the API 20E profile, on 16S RNA gene sequencing analysis, and on the fact that the organism was a gram-negative rod that was highly motile and oxidase positive. Recently, H. C. Scholz, H. Tomaso, S. A. Dahouk, A. Witte, M. Schloter, and P. Kämpfer (FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 257:7-16, 2006) developed a recA- and 16S rRNA gene-based sequencing approach to correctly discriminate O. anthropi from O. intermedium. Reinvestigation of the subject organism of our article by using this approach, by applying additional physiological/biochemical characterization, and by DNA-DNA hybridization analysis confirmed that the organism was O. intermedium. All data, results, and conclusions presented in our article are also valid for O. intermedium.
