“…A. altamirensis has usually been implicated as a contaminant originating from the environment, such as water sources [2], and is reported as an agent of canine infection [3]. To date, only a few cases of human infections have been reported (Table 1) [45678]. We report the first case of bacteremia by A. altamirensis in Korea.…”

“…

Aureimonas (formerly Aurantimonas) altamirensis is a Gram-negative coccobacillus, a member of a bacterial genus that is most often recovered from aquatic environments and a species infrequently reported as a clinical isolate in human medicine. 4,[6][7][8]11 This organism was originally recovered from the complex microbial community whose white-colored colonization is a threat to the Paleolithic drawings on the walls of the Altamira Cave (Cantabria, Spain). 6 The organism is the type species of the genus, which belongs to the bacterial family Aurantimonadaceae of the order Rhizobiales.

Isolation of Aureimonas altamirensis, a Brucella canis–like bacterium, from an edematous canine testicle

et al. 2014

Microbiological and histological analysis of a sample from a swollen testicle of a 2-year-old Border Collie dog revealed a mixed infection of the fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis and the Gram-negative bacterium Aureimonas altamirensis. When subjected to an automated microbial identification system, the latter isolate was provisionally identified as Psychrobacter phenylpyruvicus, but the organism shared several biochemical features with Brucella canis and exhibited agglutination, albeit weakly, with anti-B. canis antiserum. Unequivocal identification of the organism was only achieved by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing, ultimately establishing the identity as A. altamirensis. Since its first description in 2006, this organism has been isolated infrequently from human clinical samples, but, to the authors' knowledge, has not been reported from a veterinary clinical sample. While of unknown clinical significance with respect to the pathology observed for the polymicrobial infection described herein, it highlights the critical importance to unambiguously identify the microbe for diagnostic, epidemiological, infection control, and public health purposes.
