Clinical Features and Outcomes of <i>Myroides</i> Species Infections.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myroides species, Gram-negative bacilli from the Flavobacteriaceae family, are typically considered low-virulence pathogens but have previously been described as extensively drug-resistant. This study investigates the clinical features and outcomes of Myroides infections.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients hospitalized at Cleveland Clinic with Myroides infection. Infections were defined as a positive Myroides culture from a sterile site that were treated with an antibiotic to which the isolate was susceptible. Controls were hospitalized patients with a positive culture for Myroides, who did not meet the definition for infection. Survival for infected patients and uninfected controls was compared
