'''''Ochrobactrum''''' is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the  [[Biology:Brucellaceae|Brucellaceae]]. The genus has been described by Holmes in 1988 and ''[[Biology:Ochrobactrum anthropi|Ochrobactrum anthropi]]'' was proposed as the [[Biology:Type species|type species]] of the genus.<ref>Holmes, B. et al., ''Ochrobactrum anthropi'' gen. nov., sp. nov. from human clinical specimens and previously known as Group Vd. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 38, 408, 1988.

The ''Ochrobactrum'' strains are all Gram-negative, short rods, straight or slightly curved with one end flame-shaped. The cells are about 0.6-1.2 in length. They are not spore forming, strictly aerobic and not fermentative.

The genomes of most ''Ochrobactrum'' species are complex with two independent circular chromosomes often associated with plasmids.
