    This chapter discusses several nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli including Achromobacter, Rhizobium, Ochrobactrum, and similar organisms. Key points include: 1) Rhizobium radiobacter and Paracoccus yeei are most commonly associated with clinical infections. 2) Shewanella algae is capable of H2S production. 3) These organisms are typically associated with environmental contamination and infections in immunocompromised patients rather than high infection rates in hospital patients. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns can be difficult to determine for some organisms.
