Myroides odoratimimus bacteremia in a diabetic patient

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2015 Jul;28(3):342-3. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2015.11929268.

Abstract

Myroides species are a rare source of human infection. Though not part of the human microbiota, Myroides species are commonly found in the environment. Myroides infections are typically attributed to contact with contaminated water; the most common presentation is in immunocompromised patients. We present a patient with a diabetic foot ulcer who subsequently developed Myroides odoratimimus bacteremia and bone abscess.
