Myroides causing Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection in Diabetic Patients: An Emerging Multidrug Resistant “Superbug”

Myroidesis a nonfermentative, gram-negative rod shaped bacterium which is an emerging multidrug resistant pathogen causing many serious hospital acquired infections like Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI). The authors report a case series (four cases) of CAUTI caused by Myroides species which was resistant to all tested antibiotics (ticarcillin-clavulanic acid, piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, aztreonam, cefoperazonesulbactam, imipenem, meropenem, amikacin, gentamycin ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, colistin, tigecycline) and sensitive only to minocycline (minimum inhibitory concentration
