Ochrobactrum is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the Brucellaceae. The genus has been described by Holmes in 1988 and Ochrobactrum anthropi was proposed as the type species of the genus.[2] Further work led to the recognition of 18 other species:

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.
