Özet

Myroides spp. are opportunistic environmental Gram-negative bacteria. These affect mostly immunocompromised hosts and generally lead to soft tissue, and urinary tract infections. Bacteremia most commonly develop secondary to soft tissue or catheter related infections and may lead rarely to mortality. Myroides spp. are generally suscetible to fluoroquinolones, piperacillin/tazobactam, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, carbapenems or tetracyclines however, pan-resistant isolates and multiple resistance genes have been reported in clinical isolates of Myroides spp. We report a pan-resistant Myroides odoratimimus bacteremia in a patient with severe COVID-19 ending with fatality and in this context a review of reported Myroides bacteremias are also described.
