Myroides is a type of bacteria that was previously classified as Flavobacterium odoratum. It is aerobic, immobile, yellow-pigmented, oxidase positive and gram-negative rod with a characteristic fruity smell. They are commonly found in environmental resources such as water and soil. Although Myroides is considered a low-level pathogen, it can cause life-threatening meningitis, pneumonia, urinary tract and soft tissue infections in immunocompromised patients. They are difficult to treat because of the resistance to many antibiotics. They can cause hospital infections and deaths. Myroides spp. has drawn attention with the increasing number of cases reported. This study presents a 46-year-old female patient with no underlying diseases and Myroides odoratimimus growth in urine culture.
