          Key Clinical Message

          Myroides odoratus infection, a rare gram‐negative bacillus, predominantly affects immunocompromised patients and presents with diverse clinical manifestations. Antibiotic resistance poses challenges in determining appropriate treatment. This case underscores successful management of Myroides odoratus cellulitis complicated by bacteremia with dual antibiotic therapy, emphasizing the importance of timely recognition and susceptibility testing for effective treatment strategies.

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

            Sofia Maraki, Emmanouela Sarchianaki, Sophia Barbagadakis (2012)
            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.

              Nosocomial outbreak of Myroides odoratimimus urinary tract infection in a Tunisian hospital.

              S Ktari, B Mnif, M. Koubâa … (2012)
              We report a nosocomial outbreak of urinary tract infection caused by Myroides odoratimimus, previously called Flavobacterium odoratum, in the urology unit of a Tunisian hospital. From May to November 2010, seven isolates of M. odoratimimus were recovered from urine. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis clearly differentiated these isolates into two possibly related clones from two different periods. All patients but one had urinary calculi and underwent endourological surgery. All Myroides isolates were resistant to all antibiotics tested. Three patients were successfully treated with ciprofloxacin and rifampicin. Clinicians should be aware that M. odoratimimus may induce serious and prolonged nosocomial outbreaks of urinary tract infections.
