          Abstract

          Resumen Las infecciones por bacterias gramnegativas del género Myroides son muy poco frecuentes y generalmente afectan la piel y tejidos blandos de pacientes con algún grado de inmunocompromiso. Presentamos un caso de una mujer de 23 años, con antecedentes de mielomeningocele operado y pie bot, que cursó con una infección profunda de la extremidad inferior derecha por Myroides odoratimimus. La identificación de especie se realizó con técnica de MALDI-TOF. El tratamiento fue inicialmente con meropenem y ajustado a ciprofloxacina, junto con realizar una amputación supramaleolar derecha.

          Abstract Infections due to Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Myroides are very rare and generally affect the skin and soft tissues of patients with some degree of immunocompromise. We present a case of a 23-year-old patient with a history of myelomeningocele surgically resolved at 3 years of age and bot foot, who presented with a deep infection of the right lower extremity by Myroides odoratimimus. The species identification was carried out with MALDI-TOF and the treatment was initially carried out with meropenem and finally then ciprofloxacin, in addition to right supramaleolar amputation.

            Septic shock, pneumonia, and soft tissue infection due to Myroides odoratimimus: report of a case and review of Myroides infections

            The genus Myroides comprises aerobic, yellow-pigmented, non-motile, non-fermenting gram-negative rods formerly classified as Flavobacterium odoratum. Members of the genus are widely distributed in the environment, especially in water, and usually behave as low-grade opportunistic pathogens, having been found to cause urinary tract infection, endocarditis, ventriculitis, and cutaneous infections in severely immunocompromised patients. We report a case of soft tissue infection, septic shock, and pneumonia due to M. odoratimimus in an immunocompetent male. To our knowledge, this is the first description of life-threatening infection caused by this organism in an immunocompetent host. We have also reviewed the medical literature on the genus Myroides.

              Myroides odoratimimus soft tissue infection in an immunocompetent child following a pig bite: case report and literature review

              Members of the genus Myroides are aerobic Gram-negative bacteria that are common in environmental sources, but are not components of the normal human microflora. Myroides organisms behave as low-grade opportunistic pathogens, causing infections in severely immunocompromised patients and rarely, in immunocompetent hosts. A case of Myroides odoratimimus cellulitis following a pig bite in an immunocompetent child is presented, and the medical literature on Myroides spp. soft tissue infections is reviewed.
